Abstract:
There are no significant differences in long-term and event-free survival in patients who undergo stent implantation in different anatomic locations of the left main coronary artery. Predictors of long-term survival are age <65 years, normal left ventricular ejection fraction, and absence of an intra-aortic balloon pump.
