Abstract

Current guidelines recommend CABG as the treatment of choice for patients with asymptomatic ischemia, stable angina, or unstable angina/non-ST elevation myocardial infarction who have left main coronary artery disease. However there is no suggestion for patients presenting with ST elevation MI who have concomitant severe LMCA disease. In our case we had to deal with the stable but severe LMCA lesion first, in order to revascularize the culprit lesion.

Sorumlu lezyonu stentlemeden önce ön koşul sol ana koroner revaskülarizasyonu

Abstract

Güncel kılavuzlar ana koroner arter hastalığı olan asemptomatik iskemi, stabil anjina yada unstabil anjina / non-STEMI olan hastalarda CABG önerir. Ancak eşlik eden ciddi ana koroner arter hastalığı olan STEMI ile başvuran hastalarda hiç bir öneri yoktur. Bizim vakamızda suçlu lezyonu revaskülarizasyon amacıyla önce ciddi ana koroner arter lezyonu ile uğraşmak zorunda kaldık.
