Successful rotational atherectomy of left main stem with double kiss crush stenting using double guiding catheter: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery bypass grafting is the preferred revascularization procedure for patients with multivessel disease, and those with complex left main disease, as it is associated with a survival advantage in this group of patients. Sometimes however surgical management is not the treatment of choice due to many factors including ongoing chest pain, haemodynamic instability, or patient preference. In these situations, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers an alternative revascularization strategy. In this case study, we present a successful PCI with rotational atherectomy (RA) for distal left main stem (LMS), left anterior descending (LAD), and circumflex artery (CX) using a double guide catheter technique in a patient with severe calcific disease.
