Long-Term Outcome of Unprotected Left Main Percutaneous Coronary Interventions-An 8-Year Single-Tertiary-Care-Center Experience.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Randomized studies of patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease involve highly selected populations. Therefore, we sought to investigate the 60-month event-free survival of consecutive patients undergoing ULMCA percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and determine the best risk score system and independent predictors of event-free survival. Methods: All patients who underwent ULMCA PCI at our center between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2014 were included. The primary endpoint was the time to cardiac death, target lesion myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization (whichever came first) with a follow-up of 60 months. Results: A total of 513 patients (mean age 68 ± 12 years, 64% male, 157 elective, 356 acu
