AbstractPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for high takeoff left main is challenging, as it poses difficulties with the engagement of the guiding catheter and establishment of backup support. This report examines the case of a 53-year-old woman with history of anterior wall myocardial infarction with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), who was treated with left anterior descending (LAD) angioplasty and VSD device closure done 4 years back, and now she presented with unstable angina. After successful engagement of 5F Tiger diagnostic catheter through a right radial artery, the angiography revealed an 80% stenosis of the proximal LAD and in-stent restenosis 70% of mid-LAD. The authors tried to engage the left coronary system through the right femoral artery with 6F Judkins left, 6F Amplatzer left, 6F EBU, and 6F XBU. They could not cannulate because of high takeoff left main, so they switched to right radial access. Then they engaged a 6F 3.5 EBU catheter. Due to the weak backup support of the guiding catheter, they used another wire to stabilize it and the stent was implanted successfully. This is one of the rare case reports of PCI for high takeoff left main.

Previous observational studies and meta-analyses reported that the optimal strategy of coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] and bypass surgery) for anatomically complex coronary artery lesions in the chronic hemodialysis setting is still controversial because the long-term outcomes were superior with coronary artery bypass grafting, especially with regard to repeat revascularization; however, short-term mortality with PCI was significantly lower because it is less invasive. Moreover, no guidelines show a strategy for this setting. We report the case of a patient with chronic dialysis and calcified left main true bifurcation lesion who underwent staged PCI with rotational atherectomy and minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass for in-stent restenosis who died of non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.
