Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate and interpret the pre-op demographic data, post-op results and the causes of mortality and morbidity of the patients who had coronary artery bypass surgery with left main coronary artery stenosis in Trakya University Hospital. Methods: The pre-operative characteristics, post-operative results and the causes of mortality and morbidity of the patients who had coronary artery bypass surgery with left main coronary artery stenosis in Trakya University Hospital between January 2014 and April 2016 were analyzed by using the data in the current electronic database of the hospital. The pre-operative, operative and post-operative characteristics were summarized using means ± standard deviation and minimum-maximum values in SPSS.Results: Out of total 33 patients who were included in the study, 8 (24.24%) of them were female, while 25 (75.75%) of them were male. The mean age of the population was 64.09 ± 8.35. In examination of EuroSCORE points, 28 (84.8%) of patients were at low risk grade, 4 patients were at middle risk grade and 1 of all was at high risk grade. After operations, stay time at the hospital was minimum 2, maximum 47 days. About 94% of the patients who included in this study had <48 hours intensive care unit time. In addition, the examination showed that we have only 2 (6%) patients who had post stroke history. Usage of intra-aortic balloon pump was limited with 5 (15.1%) patients. Conclusion: In the light of the results of this study, we could say that this study has a contribution by enlarging the data repository about left main coronary artery stenosis. Coronary artery bypass surgery is still the gold standard treatment in patients with significant left main coronary artery stenosis. These operations can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates
