LMCA

Left main coronary artery

‘LMCA revascularization remains a critical part of coronary artery disease (CAD) management as it improves patients’ prognoses by reducing all-cause and cardiac mortality. While it has long remained the prerogative of the surgeon, the evolution of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques and the improvement of both stent technology and antithrombotic treatment have led to a debate on the roles that PCI and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) should play in the treatment of LMCA lesions.’ — Ferrante + Guedeney 2022
