Brief Summary
Limited data have been published on the management and outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) that involves the left main (LM) coronary artery. Little is known about different strategies and techniques of percutaneous revascularization and long-term outcomes of these patients. Beside scarcity of data, most studies represent outmoded experience not reflecting contemporary advances in stent technologies, with the introduction of newer generation thinner strut drug eluting stents (DES), bioresorbable polymers, and faster re-endothelization properties promoting vascular healing and endothelial repair. These advances have significantly reduced the rate of ischemic (especially thrombotic) complications in different cohorts. Whether these advances would alter the outcome of PCI that involves the LM in patients with ACS is yet to be explored. II. Objective
- 1.To explore real-world PCI strategies and techniques in patients with unprotected LM coronary disease presenting with ACS
- 2.To explore short- and long-term outcomes of patients of ACS with LM intervention III. Study endpoints Primary endpoint Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at one year; a composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or unplanned revascularization\* \*With further extended yearly follow-up to 5 years Secondary endpoints
