Long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting for unprotected left main coronary bifurcation disease in the drug-eluting stent era

ObjectivesThere are limited data on long-term outcomes (ie, beyond 4 years) for patients with unprotected left main bifurcation disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft...

AS-030 Long-Term Results of the Dominance of 1-Stent Strategy in the Unprotected Left Main Coronary Bifurcation Lesion

Although 1-stent strategy in the bifurcation lesion is recommended, a high proportion (30-56%) of 2-stent deployment has been still performed in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation in the recent studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of the dominance of 1-stent strategy for the unprotected LMCA bifurcation lesion.

Modified culotte stenting for treatment of unprotected left main coronary bifurcation lesions: immediate outcomes

Background and ObjectivesThe optimal stenting strategy for the treatment of unprotected left main coronary bifurcation lesions (UPLMCBLs) remains uncertain. Present study observed the technical feasibility and immediate outcomes of the...

Comparison of single‐ versus two‐stent techniques in treatment of unprotected left main coronary bifurcation disease

This study sought to compare 3-year outcomes of single- versus two-stent techniques in patients with distal unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease treated with drug-eluting stents (DES). A total of 392 patients with distal unprotected LMCA disease who underwent DES implantation with single- (n = 234) or two- (n = 158) stent techniques were evaluated. The primary end point was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target lesion revascularization (TLR). The two-stent group was more likely to have extensive coronary artery stenosis. After adjustment with weighted Cox model using the inverse probability of treatment weighting, the 3-year risk of death was similar in the single- and two-stent groups (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-2.13, P = 0.62). However, the 3-year risks of MI (HR, 0.38, 95% CI, 0.19-0.78, P = 0.008), TLR (HR, 0.16, 95% CI, 0.05-0.57, P = 0.005), and MACE (HR, 0.89, 95% CI, 0.22-0.67, P = 0.0007) were significantly lower in the single-stent group. Compared with the two-stent technique, the single-stent technique showed more favorable long-term clinical outcomes in patients with distal unprotected LMCA disease who received DES
