In-hospital and long-term outcome of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction due to left main coronary artery occlusion




Background


Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion has a poor prognosis, and data on the clinical outcome of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of acute LMCA occlusion are limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical features and outcomes of patients who underwent primary PCI for AMI due to LMCA occlusion.




Methods


Between 1988 and 2009, 72 patients with AMI who underwent primary PCI for LMCA occlusion were enrolled. Clinical outcomes of there patients were retrospectively evaluated by reviewing hospital records or telephone contact.
