Résumé
Background
Optimal stenting for distal unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation disease remains uncertain. We evaluated long-term outcomes by initially intended strategy.
Methods
This retrospective, single-centre cohort included 234 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without acute coronary syndrome, classified by intended strategy irrespective of crossover. Cox models for all-cause mortality were adjusted for strategy, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, SYNTAX score, and diabetes, with anatomical and propensity-score sensitivity analyses. Secondary and subgroup analyses were exploratory.
