Abstrakt: Revascularization therapy significantly improves the outcomes of patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD), compared with medical therapy alone. For many years, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the primary and standard treatment strategy. However, with advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques and improvements in patients' outcomes, there is growing evidence supporting PCI for LMCAD. In this review, we aim to integrate the available evidences on advances in PCI treatment for LMCAD and provide guidance for further clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
