Abstrakt: Chronic total occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is rare. Recently, percutaneous coronary intervention has been increasingly applied to unprotected LMCA lesions. We describe a patient with chronic total occlusion of the LMCA who was successfully treated with bifurcation stenting with sirolimus-eluting stents.(J Interven Cardiol 2005;18:65–69) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
