Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Isolated Ostial Left Anterior Descending Disease Treatment: Ostial Stenting Versus Left Main Cross-Over Stenting
Highlights
- • The optimal ostial left anterior descending (LAD) disease treatment is debatable.
- • Left main Cross over (LM-CO) stenting appeared superior to ostial stenting.
- • Ostial location of restenosis was predominantly in the OS group.
Abstract
Background
The optimal strategy for treating ostial left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) disease remains matter of speculation. We evaluated the impact on long-term outcomes of ostial LAD disease treated by means of ostial stenting (the floating-stent) or left main (LM)-to-LAD cross-over stenting.
