Abstract:
Two cases of life-threatening left main stem (LMS) complications during routine cardiac catheterization were successfully treated with intracoronary stenting prior to successful emergency bypass surgery. Intracoronary stenting is of value in stabilising patients before emergency bypass surgery and can save lives in LMS complications.
