Popis: Coronary artery bypass surgery remains the standard modality for revascularization of significant left main coronary artery stenoses. Despite major improvement in equipment and operator technique, balloon angioplasty of significant unprotected left main obstruction generally is contraindicated. When catheter intervention is required, Palmaz-Schatz stenting may offer better predictability of the acute result, and possibly improved long-term outcome.
