Influence of left main-left circumflex artery angle on long-term outcomes in crossover stenting for ostial left circumflex artery lesions: insights from the Multicenter CROSS-LCX Registry
Key Points
This research aims to examine the impact of the left main-left circumflex artery angle on cardiovascular outcomes following crossover stenting.
Conducted as a multicenter registry study
Evaluated patients with ostial left circumflex artery lesions
Analyzed the relationship between left main-LCX angle and long-term cardiovascular events
Found that a narrow left main-LCX angle of 99° is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events
Suggests that the artery angle may serve as a predictive factor for patient outcomes
Abstract
This multicenter study shows that a narrow left main-LCX angle (99°) value may be associated with poor cardiovascular events in patients who underwent CSI for ostial LCX disease.
