Percutaneous stenting of chronic total occlusion of unprotected left main coronary artery

Indian Heart J. 2003 Mar-Apr;55(2):172-4.

Abstract

Chronic total occlusion of the left main coronary artery is very rare. We report a case in which a totally occluded, unprotected distal left main coronary artery was successfully revascularized percutaneously, establishing normal flow in the left main, left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries.
