Abstract

Percutaneous revascularization of protected and unprotected left main coronary arteries is associated with acceptable immediate results, but there are significant long-term consequences, including the need for repeat percutaneous intervention (10%), myocardial infarction (7.5%), coronary artery bypass surgery (7%), and death (38%), despite the elective or emergent nature of the procedure.
