Description

In the recent years percutaneous treatment of the left main stem (LM) has gained a precise role as a result of consistent scientific evidence vs. coronary artery bypass. A self-apposing stent offers an improved adaptation to the vessel wall, especially in case of tapered vessels; aim of this study was to investigate the role of a novel self-apposing, sirolimus-eluting stent (Stentys, France) for the treatment of LM coronary artery disease.
