Acute, total occlusion of the left main stem: coronary intervention options, outcomes, and recommendations

Abstract

We found that uLMo ACS cases often present with preceding CPR and mostly in manifest CS. Coronary salvage is generally successful, yet uLMo even with optimal present day complex treatment yields quite high mortality rates. This is especially true for patients receiving prior CPR. In surviving patients, however, 6-month MACE rates are acceptable.
