The management of left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease has evolved over the past two decades. Historically, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery has been the gold standard for the treatment of LMCA disease. However, with the advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and stent technology, PCI in select patients has achieved comparable outcomes to CABG. As such, this has led to changes in the American College of Cardiology and European Society of Cardiology guidelines, which recommend that PCI might be an alternative to CABG in select patients. In this review article, we describe the historical perspective and early experience with coronary interventions of LMCA disease, landmark clinical trials and their effect on guidelines, and the role of intravascular imaging in the management of LMCA lesions.

Since its introduction in 1977, Percutaneous Coronary  Interventions (PCI) is an important tool in the treatment of  coronary artery disease (CAD). It is a retrospective analysis  of data of 100 cases (132 vessels). The mean age was 50.9  years (range 30-70) with 90 (90%) male and 10 (10%) female.  Indication of PCI includes acute and old MI, Chronic stable  angina and unstable angina were 48 (48%), 33 (33%) and  19(19%) respectively. Procedure done in total 132 vessels  among 100 patients. most of the cases were single vessels  disease (SVD) {68 (68%} followed by double vessel disease  (DVD) {30(30%)} , triple vessel disease (TVD) {02 (02%)}  and chronic total occlusion (CTO) {02 (02%)}.Cobalt  chromium was commonly used stent (117 (88.6%) followed by  drug illuting stent (DES) 12 (9.1%) and bare metal stent  (BMS) 3 (2.3%). Among the site of the stent insertion left  anterior descending (LAD) 62 (47%), right coronary lesion  (RCA) 37 (28), left circumplex artery (LCX) 33  (25%).Maximum stent length was 35 mm, minimum 10mm.  Maximum stent diameter was 3.5 mm whereas minimum  diameter 2.5 mm. The mean pretreatment reference diameter  was 2.55 ± 0.20 mm and post treatment diameter 2.70 ± 0.45  mm. Angiographic, procedural and clinical success rate were  100%, 98% and 98% respectively. Major adverse  cardiovascular event (MACE) {periprocedural MI} occurred  in 2 (02 %) cases. Minor cardiovascular complications  revealed vascular haematoma 2 (02%), bleeding from access  site in 1 (01%), transient ventricular fibrillation (VF) in 3  (03%) cases. There was no hospital death, emergency CABG  before discharge from hospital. Angiographic, procedural and  clinical success rate were excellent with a little MACE and  event free survival within 30 days follow up. So, PCI is a safe  and effective method of myocardial revascularization  irrespective of lesion morphology and type of stents used at  immediate and 30 days follow up.

Aim      To study long-term results and to identify predictors of death in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent endovascular revascularization.Materials and methods This study included 283 patients registered in the hospital registry of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for STEMI from 2006 through 2009. Analysis of 10-year results included all-cause and cardiovascular death rate, incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), repeated revascularization, stroke, stent restenosis and thrombosis. Also, a composite endpoint МАССЕ (Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events) was evaluated, which included death, recurrent MI, repeated PCI, stent restenosis and thrombosis, coronary bypass, and stroke.Results Information about the health condition was provided by 204 (72.1 %) patients. Mean follow-up period was 120.1±9.5 months. All-cause mortality was 25.5 % with cardiovascular death determined in 19.1 % of cases. Recurrent MI developed in 21.6 % of patients; in 1.5 % of cases, recurrent MI resulted from thrombosis of previously implanted stents. Repeated PCI was performed for 31.9 % of patients; in 13.7 % of cases, the PCI was performed for stent restenosis. Coronary bypass was performed for 5.4 % of patients. Incidence of stroke was 10.3 %. Major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications (МАССЕ) during the follow-up period were determined in 60.3 % patients. According to the Cox proportional hazards regression model, age ≥65 years (odds ratio (OR), 3.75 at 95 % confidence interval (CI) from 1.75 to 8.03; р=0.001) and incomplete coronary revascularization (OR, 3.09 at 95 % CI from 1.52 to 6.30; р=0.002) were independent predictors of death based on data of the 10-year observation.Conclusion      Therefore, at 10 years following endovascular revascularization, STEMI patients showed a moderate death rate with a high incidence of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. The leading causes for fatal outcomes were recurrent cardiovascular complications. The major predictors of death for the coming 10-year period included age ≥65 years and incomplete myocardial revascularization.
