Ostial left main disease tackled with a percutaneous coronary intervention using a second-generation drug-eluting stent: A case report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The hospital emergency admitted a middle-aged male who had previously undergone stenting in the left anterior descending (LAD) and right coronary arteries due to severe central chest pain radiating to both arms. A two-dimensional color Doppler echocardiogram showed septal hypokinesia, and coronary angiography showed a 70% ostial left main (LM) stenosis. The LAD coronary artery had a patent stent, but the mid-right coronary artery had a totally occluded stent. The chest pain increased during coronary angiography, and the patient consented to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a second-generation drug-eluting stent. The patient was discharged in a stable condition. The evolution and the current approach of PCI compared to coronary artery bypass grafting surgery for LM coronary disease based on randomized trials are discussed.
