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.

Durable polymer vs. biodegradable polymer DES in patients with ACS undergoing complex PCI: A post hoc analysis of the HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial

30 Aug 2022

The HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial was a randomised, parallel-group multicentre trial with a 2x2 factorial design testing two independent hypotheses, one of which was the non-inferiority of durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DP-DES) to biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) in patients with ACS. In this post-hoc analysis, the authors...

FFR-guided PCI optimization directed by high-definition IVUS versus standard of care - the FFR-REACT trial

24 Aug 2022

The primary objective of the study was to assess whether an IVUS-based stent optimization provided an incremental value in terms of vessel-related adverse event occurrence in patients presenting with low post-PCI FFR (<0.90).

Everolimus-eluting stents or bypass surgery for mutivessel coronary artery disease: 10-year outcomes of multicenter randomized controlled BEST trial

20 Sep 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BEST trial which was presented by Jung-Min Ahn at TCT 2022.

It is a randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority trial comparing PCI with second-generation everolimus-eluting stents and CABG in patients with non-left main multivessel coronary artery disease. At two-year follow-up PCI was shown...
