Overview
Although acute left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is a rare clinical entity, it carries a very high mortality rate. The purposes of this study were to analyze the effect of primary coronary angioplasty, surgical revascularization and conservative therapy on the mortality of LMCA occlusion - induced acute myocardial infarction in patients, who were hospitalized at our Coronary Care Unit between January 2000 and December 2003.
Key words
left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion - acute myocardial infarction - primary coronary angioplasty
