Coronary artery bypass grafting is the first-choice treatment for lesions of the left main trunk, but this procedure is associated with the problem of long-term graft patency. Some surgeons thus prefer to perform patch angioplasty for such lesions; however, the safety of this operation is not well established. Operative angioplasty using an ultrasonic aspiration system in a patient with ostial stenosis of the left coronary artery was successfully performed. This is the first report of the application of ultrasonic angioplasty to coronary artery disease.
冠状动脉旁路移植术是治疗左主干病变的首选方法，但该手术存在移植血管长期通畅的问题。因此，一些外科医生更倾向于对这类病变进行补片血管成形术；然而，这种手术的安全性尚未得到充分证实。在一名左冠状动脉开口狭窄的患者中，成功地使用超声抽吸系统进行了手术血管成形术。这是关于超声血管成形术应用于冠状动脉疾病的首次报道。
