Abstract
We investigated the long-term clinical outcomes and independent predictors of major cardiac events in unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCA) patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent (DES). There is limited information on long-term (>3 years) outcomes after DES implantation for ULMCA. Furthermore, bifurcation angle and SYNTAX (Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score are emerging as parameters for patient risk stratification, and their prognostic implications have still to be elucidated. One hundred forty-eight patients with ULMCA treated with DES were analyzed and compared with a historical cohort of 79 patients who received bare-metal stents for the treatment of ULMCA. Patient-oriented composite end point was defined as the occurrence of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, or any revascularization. The 4-year cumulative incidence of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, any revascularization, and patient-oriented composite were 35.6%, 3.8%, 25.2%, and 54.4%, respectively. These end points had relatively increased from 1 year to 4 years by Delta70%, Delta5%, Delta50%, and Delta68%, respectively. When compared with ...Continue Reading
