Use of TAP Technique in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, for Stenting Critical Osteal Disease in an Old Patient...

With recent advancements in techniques and technologies in the field of interventional cardiology, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is preferred over Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), provided patient selection is kept in mind, and all the technical facilities are available to ensure successful end results without any immediate or late cardiac complications. However, dealing with Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) osteal disease can be challenging. We report a case of T and Protrusion (TAP) technique performed at Hearts International Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The patient was old and had compromised Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF).The results were excellent with no complications.
