ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to evaluate the outcomes of left main percutaneous coronary interventions in Acute Coronary Syndrome population. METHODS: This is a retrospective& observational study. Primary endpoint is a composite of death, stent thrombosis/MI, target lesion revascularization. Secondary endpoints include individual components of the primary events analyzed separately. RESULTS: Seventy five patients, two year follow - up data was analyzed. The primary event analysis showed that the Elective Double Stent (EDS) group had a higher primary events (36% vs. 14%, p value - 0.008, Hazard ratio - 0.76 (0.51-1.15, 95% CI), in secondary event analysis stent thrombosis (ST)/Myocardial infarction (MI) rates were higher in EDS group (8% Vs 36%, p Value - 0.008, Hazard ratio- 0.63(0.35-1.14, 95%CI), there is no difference in target lesion revascularization (TLR)and death rates in both the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The provisional strategy is better than EDS in treatment of left main bifurcation lesions in the ACS population.
