Dr Colum Owens (Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, UK) comments on the trial results for the NOBLE trial (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Vs Drug Eluting Stent Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty in the Treatment of Unprotected Left Main Stenosis), in light of the SYNTAX Extended Survival study. He examines the results, the study design differences and highlights how both studies indicate that PCI…

Obstructive unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease has been recognised as a high-risk condition since the 1960s owing to the large quantum of myocardium supplied by this system (see Figure 1). In that era, medical therapy was the only available management and 5-year mortality rates exceeded 60 %.1 With the introduction of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) it became clear that…

Historical Perspective and Early Experience
Historically, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery has been the gold standard treatment for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. However, with the developments and advancements in the interventional cardiology field, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become a safe alternative management option to CABG in select patients. Today…

Detection of obstructive disease of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is relatively unusual in the catheterisation laboratory, as it accounts for approximately 4 % of all coronary angiograms, with isolated LMCA disease observed in only 5–10 % of these cases.1
Intervention to the LMCA is, however, notable compared to the treatment of coronary stenosis elsewhere in the coronary tree. First,…

CRT 23 - In this short video, Dr Prakriti Gaba (Brigham and Women's Hospital, US) joins us to discuss the late-breaking data from a pooled analysis of four trials comparing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with left main disease: SYNTAX, PRECOMBAT, NOBLE and EXCEL. In this study, individualised patient data were pooled and categorised…
