Abstract

In the light of present studies, the left main coronary artery (LMCA) lesions more suitable for surgery on stable and planned patients. But invasive tools like OCT, FFR and IVUS usage in this stenting of LMCA lesions gains popularity for procedural optimization in interventional cardiologist era. Although long term results are debatable but short term studies revealed same mortality and morbidity rates between stenting and surgery in acute coronary syndromes. We herein present an acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) with hemodynamic disturbance because of total obstruction of LMCA with no distal flow in left coronary system. After crush stenting of LMCA, patient’s situation was going well and discharged with medical therapy shortly after intervention.

Özet

Mevcut çalışmalar ışığında, sol ana koroner arter (LMCA) lezyonları stabil ve planlı hastalarda cerrahiye daha uygundur. Ancak, LMCA lezyonlarının bu stentlemesinde OCT, FFR ve IVUS gibi invaziv araçlar, girişimsel kardiyoloji çağında prosedürel optimizasyon için popülerlik kazanmaktadır. Uzun vadeli sonuçlar tartışmalı olmasına rağmen, kısa süreli çalışmalar stentleme ve cerrahi arasında aynı mortalite ve morbidite oranlarını ortaya koymuştur. Burada, sol koroner sistemde distal akış olmaksızın LMCA'nın total obstrüksiyonu nedeniyle hemodinamik bozukluğu olan akut anteriyor ST yükselmeli miyokard enfarktüslü (MI) hastaya acil şartlarda yapılan crush stentleme işlemini sunuyoruz.
