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.

Large retroperitoneal bleed despite state-of-the-art femoral access

01 Nov 2018

There is conventional knowledge stating that retroperitoneal bleeding, a potentially life-threatening complication of femoral access, is a consequence of a high puncture. We highlight a case in which arterial access was not high based on multiple image modalities, single arterial puncture and still developed severe retroperitoneal...
