RÉSUMÉ
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the prognosis in patients with left main coronary artery stenosis one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Our study included 40 patients who underwent PCI for left main coronary artery stenosis without the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Patients were followed for a year, and the prognostic effect of PCI on a composite end-point of revascularization, new myocardial infarction, cardiac death, and on all-cause mortality was assessed in multivariable Cox analysis. Results The multivariable analysis showed a good prognosis in patients receiving PCI with a total event rate of 7.5%. The independent predictors for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were diabetes (p = 0.02). Other prognostic factors included in the model were gender, age, smoking, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, the complexity of the vessel, and ejection fraction. Conclusion PCI for left main coronary artery stenosis without the use of IVUS has a good prognosis after one year of clinical follow-up.
