Impact of Elective, Uncomplicated Target Lesion Revascularization on Cardiac Mortality after Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

This study sought to investigate the impact of elective, uncomplicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) on long-term cardiac mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. Consecutive patients undergoing PCI for ULMCA disease between January 2003 and December 2015 in one interventional center in Northern Italy were include. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI), as well as those undergoing urgent or complicated TLR were excluded.
