Left main and multivessel disease

Latest left main and multivessel disease content in interventional cardiology - research, practice, and education

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.

TAVI and FFR-guided PCI vs. SAVR and CABG in AS with complex or multivessel CAD: the TCW Trial

16 Dec 2024

The TCW trial found that FFR-guided PCI with TAVI offers favorable one-year outcomes, including lower rates of all-cause mortality, MI, disabling stroke, revascularisation, valve reintervention, and severe bleeding, compared to CABG with SAVR.

Immediate versus staged complete revascularisation in patients presenting with STEMI and multivessel disease

21 Oct 2024

The current subanalysis of the BioVasc trial offers valuable insights into the long-term effects of ICR versus SCR strategies in STEMI patients with MVD. The findings support current guidelines on the necessity of revascularizing non-culprit lesions.
