An Unprotected Distal Left Main Disease Treated with Stenting- A Maiden Experience at a Tertiary Care Center

Abstract

Unprotected left main disease which till recently was considered a class III indication for PCI has been accepted as a IIb indication in the last updated AHA/ACC guidelines. Now world over , UPLM stenting is being increasingly taken up , especially after the entry of drug eluting stents in the coronary interventional arena. The distal left main disease is considered the technically most challenging. We present here a case of distal left main disease with critical ostial LAD and LCX disease, successfully managed with stenting via the double barrel technique. J Med Sci 2010;13(1):25-27
