APPROACH TO LEFT MAIN
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Dr. Chaitanya Chittimuri
PCI VS CABG
• Medically treated LM D/s – 75 mortality at 15 years
• CABG – recommended in all significant LM D/s, SIHD
Revascularisation
LM D/s : >50% Luminal Diameter Intermediate 50-69%
Severe 70-90%
Critical >90%
LM D/s location Ostial 23%
Mid Shaft 15%
Distal 61%
Isolated LM D/s 4-6 %
Urgent / Emergent 17-59%
DECISION MAKING
• CLINICAL FACTORS
• PROCEDURAL CONSIDERATIONS
• OPERATOR / INSTITUTION ISSUES
• COMPARATIVE TRIALS
• CURRENT GUIDELINE
• REAL WORLD DATA
• PRACTICAL APPROACH
Firstly, The Factors important to the patient :
• symptom relief
• recovery time
• freedom from complications post-procedure
• longevity
Objectively determining Patient outcomes
• Clinical Risk Score (STS ,the EuroSCORE II)
• Integrated anatomical and clinical scores
-the SYNTAX ,SYNTAX II 2020
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
PCI IN LM DISEASE
• Anatomy of LM
• Intravascular imaging
lesion severity
technical PCI approach
proper stent sizing
stent apposition
• Functional testing
hemodynamic significance
side branch compromise
CABG IN LM DISEASE
• Nature of isolated LM lesions
• Distal epicardial vessels (minimum 1.5 mm)
• Calcified walls
• Intramyocardial course
• Choice of Graft - LM bifurcation
• Unstable during induction of anesthesia
• Cardioplegia Delivery
• Porcelain aorta or aorta with atheroma
• Reoperative surgery must be factored
• Risk of deep-sternal wound infection
Marc Ruel. Circulation. Why NOBLE and EXCEL Are Consistent With
Each Other and With Previous Trials, Volume: 135, Issue: 9, Pages:
822-824, DOI: (10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.116.027159)
CURRENT GUIDELINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Prohibitive Non-prohibitive
Unmet Issues on Left Main Revascularization
MI definition
Complete (CR) or incomplete revascularization (IR)
Role of IVUS or FFR
All-cause mortality or cardiac mortality
Long-term follow-up data beyond 5or10 y
Optimal antithrombotic strategy and DAPT duration
Role of SYNTAX score
Thank You
