Left main and multivessel disease

Find all the latest content on left main and multivessel disease published on this website.

The left main coronary artery provides the primary source of blood flow to the left ventricle. Diseases affecting the left main, by itself or in combination with multivessel disease, place the patient at significant risk for life-threatening cardiovascular events. Treatment requires an understanding of all available tools, devices and techniques, like those employed in invasive imaging and functional assessment, as well as taking into account underlying comorbidities such as diabetes. Advances in imaging techniques, as well as the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or invasive interventions such as bypass surgery, are important, as are understanding bleeding risks.

The effect of eliminating the hydrostatic pressure gradient during fractional flow reserve measurement

09 Feb 2023

Study the case of this 78-year-old male patient to understand why and how HPG may be important when measuring FFR in patients with CAD, as its height may influence the height of different FFR measurements, and, therefore, the patient management.
