OBJECTIVE:

To assess coronary stent placement in patients with multivessel coronary disease and involvement of the proximal portion of the anterior descending coronary artery.

METHODS:

We retrospectively analyzed the in-hospital and late evolution of 189 patients with multivessel coronary disease, who underwent percutaneous coronary stent placement. These patients were divided into 2 groups as follows group I (GI) - 59 patients with involvement of the proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery; and group II (GII) - 130 patients without involvement of the proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery.

RESULTS:

No significant difference was observed in the success rate of the procedure (91.5 percent versus 97.6 percent, p=0.86), nor in the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (5.1 percent versus 1.5 percent, p=0.38), nor in the occurrence of major vascular complications (1.7 percent versus 0 percent, p=0.69) in the in-hospital phase. In the late follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (15.4 percent versus 13.7 percent, p=0.73) and the need for new revascularization (13.5 percent versus 10.3 percent, p=0.71) were similar for both groups.

CONCLUSION:

The in-hospital and late evolution of patients with multivessel coronary disease with and without involvement of the proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery treated with coronary stent placement did not differ. This suggests that this revascularization method is an effective procedure and a valuable option for treating these types of patients
