A new sequential two-stent strategy for treating true distal left main trifurcation lesion

摘要

The incidence of significant left main (LM) coronary artery stenosis identified by coronary angiography was 5%−17.5% in various clinical presentations; about 80% of stenosis involved the LM bifurcation (LMB).[1] Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an appropriate alternative to coronary artery bypass graft in LM disease with low-to-intermediate anatomical complexity,[2] PCI for LMB lesions remains the most technically challenging for interventional cardiologists with higher rates of acute periprocedural complications and higher risk of long-term major adverse cardiac events in the era of drug-eluting stent (DES).
