Key result
CABG for isolated coronary ostial stenosis yields 0% operative mortality compared to LMTD.
Why the study?
Isolated coronary ostial stenosis is a rare disease of unknown etiology with unclear clinical characteristics compared to atherosclerotic left main trunk disease.

Supports considering isolated ostial stenosis as a distinct entity in younger women; leaves open need for prospective confirmation of surgical outcomes.

What are the clinical characteristics and operative outcomes of isolated coronary ostial stenosis compared to left main trunk disease in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting?
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0.9%
Isolated coronary ostial stenosis is a distinct clinical entity affecting younger, predominantly female patients, but like left main trunk disease, it has an excellent operative prognosis with coronary bypass grafting.
Sasaguri et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Isolated coronary ostial stenosis and left main trunk disease (n=116). Isolated coronary ostial stenosis vs. Atherosclerotic left main trunk disease was evaluated on Operative mortality. Isolated coronary ostial stenosis affected younger, predominantly female patients, with 0% operative mortality after bypass grafting compared to 0.9% for left main trunk disease.
