Elective stenting of unprotected left main
coronary artery stenosis: effect of debulking before stenting and intravascular

These data suggest that stenting of unprotected LMCA stenosis might be
associated with a favorable long-term outcome in selected patients. Guidance
with IVUS may optimize the immediate results, and debulking before stenting
seems to be effective in reducing the restenosis rate.

Unprotected left main coronary artery stenting: immediate and medium- term outcomes of 140 elective procedures [see editorial

Stenting of unprotected LMCA stenosis provided excellent immediate
results, particularly in good CABG candidates. Medium-term results were good, with a restenosis rate of 23%, similar to that seen after stenting at other coronary
sites. Stenting deserves to be considered a safe and effective alternative to CABG in institutions performing large numbers of
PTCAs.
