Twelve-year outcomes after revascularization for ostial/shaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery.

Objective: To evaluate a very long-term clinical outcomes of patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for ostial/shaft lesions in unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA).

Methods & Results: A total of 472 patients with isolated ostial/shaft lesions in ULMCA were enrolled, who received DES implantation or underwent CABG between January 2003 and July 2009 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. The major endpoints of this study were death, repeat revascularization, non-procedural myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. The median follow-up was twelve years (interquartile range: 9.4-14.0 years) in the overall patients. There were no significant differences of incidence of death (23.3% vs. 25.6%, P = 0.227), repeat revascularization (27.3% vs. 28.4%, P = 0.423), non-procedural MI (20.0% vs. 14.5%, P = 0.561), and stroke (6.1% vs. 9.3%, P = 0.255) between PCI and CABG groups before multivariate adjusting. After adjusting covariates with multivariate Cox hazard regression model, there were still no significant differences between PCI and CABG groups.

Conclusions: During the median follow-up of twelve years, we found that PCI with DES was as effective and safe as CABG in patients with left main ostial/shaft lesion in this observational study.
