Results and Long-Term Predictors of Adverse Clinical Events After Elective Percutaneous Interventions on Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery

Abstract

Elective percutaneous coronary intervention of de novo lesions in left main coronary arteries is feasible, with low procedural risk. The long-term follow-up revealed a high rate of angiographic restenosis and repeat revascularization, with a relatively high incidence of cardiac death. Reference vessel size and left ventricular function are the most important predictors of favorable follow-up.
