摘要:For many years,tmprotected left main stenosis (ULMS)has been remained as the forbidden fruit of interventional cardiology.However,with the remarkable improvement in medical device technology,procedural techniques and antithrombotic agents during the last decades,percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting for ULMS has become technically feasible and has exhibited favorable clinical outcomes.In particular,the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) has played an important role.Extensive studies in the DES era,from SYNTAX,[1] EXCEL[2] to NOBEL,[3]have confirmed its safety and efficacy,which is similar to those observed with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG),at least for patients without very diffuse disease in other coronary segments.Furthermore,a study conducted in 2015 was the first to report that interventional therapy of ULMS is also effective and safe for the elderly patients.
