Abstract

There are no significant differences in long-term and event-free survival in patients who undergo stent implantation in different anatomic locations of the left main coronary artery. Predictors of long-term survival are age <65 years, normal left ventricular ejection fraction, and absence of an intra-aortic balloon pump.

    Park et al271 reported a series of bifurcation stenting to the LMCA in 63 patients that showed good procedural success rates and clinical outcomes with a 2-year survival rate of 84 to 89%. These seem to be higher than the observed survival rate in group III (bifurcation stenting to distal LMCA) (79%) in Lee’s study.270 Coronary bifurcations have been reported as having a high risk of developing restenosis after coronary intervention.277,278
