Long-term Clinical Outcome of Crossover Technique from Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery to the Left Circumflex Coronary Artery
Author: Alaide Chieffo, MD, Interventional Cardiology Unit San Raffaele Scientific Institute Milan, Italy
CONCLUSION
- Single-stent crossover technique from unprotected LMCA to the LCx is associated with high rates of TLR for ISR in stent body.
- This strategy may have risks of acute (dissection) and chronic (restenosis) events at LAD-ostium.
