Follow-up of patients operated on with arterial patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery

2004, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Isolated stenosis of the LMCA is relatively rare. In the series reported by Loop and colleagues [1], isolated LMCA stenosis was noted in only 0.7% of the cohort of patients operated upon for coronary disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common treatment, and is associated with excellent short- and long-term outcomes [13].

2000, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The intimal hyperplasia and medial thickening seen in this disorder may be localized or diffuse within the aortic wall, resulting in hypoplastic aortic sinuses, commissural distortion, and ostial LMCA stenosis.8 Approximately 80% of the blood supply to the left ventricle is delivered through the LMCA.9 Critical narrowing of this vessel is one of the most lethal forms of heart disease and is uncommon in children.10
