Temporal Evolution of Left Main Coronary Artery Stenosis De Novo Presentation: Trends in Coronary Angiography and Clinical Characteristics (LM-EVOLUTION Study)

Abstract

Conclusions: In consecutive patients presenting with de novo LM stenosis, angiographic SS showed a statistically significant negative trend over a decade, driven primarily by a reduction in non-LM-SS. Our findings are consistent with an increase in the proportion of patients presenting with LM stenosis amenable to first-line percutaneous (rather than surgical) management (LM-EVOLUTION study).
