SUMMARY
Implantation of either paclitaxel- or sirolimus eluting stents in uLMCA lesions is safe and effective; both of these DES provide comparable clinical outcomes out to 3 years. While older age and lower ejection fraction independently predicted long-term death or MI, need of double stenting for uLMCA lesions was the only independent predictor of TLR out to 3 years.
