文摘The incidence of significant left main(LM)coronary artery stenosis identified by coronary angiography was 5%−17.5%in various clinical presentations;about 80%of stenosis involved the LM bifurcation(LMB).[1]Although per-cutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)is an appro-priate alternative to coronary artery bypass graft in LM disease with low-to-intermediate anatomical complexity,[2]PCI for LMB lesions remains the most technically challenging for interventional cardiolo-gists with higher rates of acute periprocedural com-plications and higher risk of long-term major ad-verse cardiac events in the era of drug-eluting stent(DES).
