Key result
Successful stenting was performed in a 52-year-old woman with left main coronary artery disease and a history of previous CABG and PTCA.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of successful left main coronary stenting in a patient with complex prior revascularization history.
May support PCI feasibility post-CABG; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
A 52 years lady presented with chest pain and shortness of breath. Chest pain was initially CCS class II and gradually CCS class III. Coronary angiogram reveals triple vessel disease for which she underwent CABG (RSVG to LAD) in December 1999. On January 2003 PTCA with stent (sirolimus - 3 x 15m m) to LCX was done. She again complaints of chest pain after a short symptom less period. Recent coronary angiogram revealed TVD with left main involvement. In this article we will describe a rare case of successful stenting in left main disease. doi: 10.3329/uhj.v5i1.3441 University Heart Journal Vol. 5, No. 1, January 2009 40-41
