Because left main coronary artery disease carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality, this retrospective study will review the data and results of surgical management of left main coronary artery disease, in King Abdulaziz University Hospital. 448 patients underwent coronary bypass graft into two groups, left main group (50) patients and non-left main group (398) patients. Preoperative data, risk factors and cardiac catheterization findings were compared in between the two groups in addition to perioperative morbidity and mortality. Patients in the left main group were younger in age with significantly lower ejection fraction and more risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking). In our study the left main group patients had higher mortality than non-left main patients [4 patients = 8%, 6 patients = 1.8%]; the most common cause of perioperative mortality in the left main group was low cardiac output state, and the most common complications were perioperative myocardial infarction and prolonged ventilation. The higher mortality and morbidity associated with surgery for left main coronary artery disease can be explained by the higher risk profi le, the need of urgent surgery and critical preoperative status.

Abstract Background In patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD), women favored coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 5 years in the SYNTAX trial, whereas mortality rates after PCI and CABG were not different in men. On the other hand, poor outcomes of women undergoing PCI were not observed in the PRECOMBAT and BEST trials. The long-term optimal revascularization strategy according to gender has not been fully evaluated. Purpose In the SYNTAX Extended Survival (SYNTAXES) study, no significant difference existed in all-cause death between PCI and CABG at 10 years. This study aimed to assess treatment effect of PCI and CABG for 10-year all-cause death according to gender. Methods The SYNTAXES study evaluated vital status up to 10 years in 1,800 patients with de novo three-vessel disease (3VD) and/or left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) randomized to treatment with CABG or PCI in the SYNTAX trial, and the pre-specified primary endpoint was all-cause death at 10 years. In this prespecified analysis, all-cause death at 10 years according to gender in patients undergoing PCI or CABG was evaluated. Results Of 1800 patients, 402 (22.3%) were women and 1398 (77.7%) were men. In women, the rate of mortality was significantly higher in the PCI arm at 5 years than in the CABG arm (19.3% vs. 10.3%; Log-rank p=0.010, Figure A), but the rates of mortality were not different at 10 years between the PCI and CABG arms (33.0% vs. 32.5%; Log-rank p=0.600, Figure A). In men, the mortality rate tended to be higher in the PCI arm at 10 years than in the CABG arm (27.0% vs. 22.5%; Log-rank p=0.082, Figure B), although the mortality rates were not different at 5 years between the PCI and CABG arms (12.4% vs. 12.3%; Log-rank p=0.957, Figure B). Conclusion The efficacy of CABG observed at 5 years disappeared at 10 years in women, whereas the efficacy of CABG became apparent after 5 years in men.
