CONCLUSION
- Diabetes mellitus and non-ST acute coronary syndrome on presentation are predictors of cardiac death in patients after distal left main PCI
- Technical factors except stenting strategy do not influence one year MACE after distal left main PCI
- Two stent strategy is associated with higher one year MACE rate compared to one stent strategy
