13. Introduction
• Clinically significant LMCA disease is found in 3- 5%
of all patients undergoing CAG and 10- 30% of all
patients undergoing CABG
• LMCA diseas is associated with high morbidity and
mortality
• DES ,PCI for LMCA lesion has become technically
feasible and associated with long term favorable
clinical outcomes
14. Anatomy and physiology
• LMCA arises from left aortic sinus just below the sino-
tubular junction of the aortic root
• In aproximately, two-thirds of cases,it bifurcates into
LAD and LCX.In one-third cases it trifurcates
intoLAD,LCX and Ramus Intermedius
• LMCA supplies about 75% of the left ventricle
• LMCA has an average lentgh 10.8mm ,diameter 4.9mm
and with an average branches angle 86.7°
• Anatomically LMCA is devided into 3 regions,the
ostium,midshaft and distal bifurcation
15. • Histologycally,ostial portion resembles to aorta,being
rich in smooth and elastic fibers
• Distal bifurcation part of LMCA is the most common
site of atheromatous plaque formation(low shear flow)
than bifurcation carina
• In minimal LMCA disease,atheromatous plaque type is
intimal thickening
• Significant lesion shows complex plaque,fibroatheroma
with thin cap,surface rupture,fissure and intra-plaque
haemorrhage
22. PCI of LMCA
• PCI of LM ostial and shaft lesion can
beperformed safely ,and is associated with
excellent short term and long term outcomes
• PCI to LM bifurcation lesion is challenging and is
associated with high rate of adverse clinical
evevents
• Stenting strategy in LM bifurcation lesion
depends on several clinical and anatomical
factors
