Abstract:
Left main stem (LMS) disease is identified in up to 5% of diagnostic angiography cases, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to the proportion of myocardium it subtends. In the past 10 years, there has been a significant change in the way we contemplate treating lesions in the LMS due to evolving experience and evidence in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategies and technologies. This has been reflected in recent changes in European and International guidance on managing patients with this lesion subset. Here, the authors provide an overview of the current literature regarding the management of LMS disease using PCI in light of new developments and emerging concepts in this field, specifically looking at the recent EXCEL trial.
