We describe a case of a left main coronary artery (LMCA) chronic total occlusion (CTO), which we elected to treat through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In this case report, we briefly review the prevalence of LMCA CTO, discuss the feasibility of PCI versus surgical revascularization and highlight the importance of intravascular ultrasound in the guidance of these complex procedures.
我们描述了一例左主干冠状动脉(LMCA)慢性完全闭塞(CTO)病例,我们选择通过经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)对其进行治疗。在本病例报告中,我们简要回顾了LMCA CTO的患病率,讨论了PCI与外科血运重建的可行性,并强调了血管内超声在指导这些复杂手术中的重要性。
