2008, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, very few patients undergo CABG for cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction [15]. Acute occlusion of the LMCA can result in severe circulatory decompensation within minutes and often manifests with fatal consequences [16–19]. Wong and associates [20] reported that the mortality was particularly high when the LMCA was the infarct-related artery (78.6%).

2007, Current Problems in CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The high concentration of elastic fibers in the aorto-ostial lesions and subsequent marked recoil has been proposed as possible causes of the high restenosis rate after conventional balloon angioplasty. Due to these limitations of balloon angioplasty, elective percutaneous revascularization of unprotected LMCA stenosis was truncated201 even though the early results were good.200,202,203 In humans, observational IVUS data204 indicate that a larger plaque burden leads to a higher rate of late lumen loss after stenting.
