Left Main Session: Focus on Technique and Late Outcome French Taxus LM Registry at 5 years
Author: Thierry Lefèvre, on Behalf the French Registry
CONCLUSION
Unprotected LM PCI using PES with a strategy of Provisional SB stenting provides good long term outcome in real world patients. Annual cardiac mortality is 1.7% and all-cause mortality 4.4% after 2 years.
T shape angulation, use of two stents, stent type and finally lesions complexity in patients with multivessel disease, may play an important role in the outcome.
