Sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for chronic total occlusion of the left main coronary artery

J Interv Cardiol. 2005 Feb;18(1):65-9; discussion 69. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8183.2005.04069.x.

Abstract

Chronic total occlusion of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is rare. Recently, percutaneous coronary intervention has been increasingly applied to unprotected LMCA lesions. We describe a patient with chronic total occlusion of the LMCA who was successfully treated with bifurcation stenting with sirolimus-eluting stents.
