Angioplasty of unprotected left main coronary stenosis: Real world experience of a single-operator group from eastern India.

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the standard treatment of unprotected left main coronary stenosis (ULMCA). However, in the real world scenario, many of these patients are unfit for CABG or prefer angioplasty as an alternative when offered the choice.

Methods: A total of 86 clinically stable patients with ULMCA stenosis who were unfit or unwilling for CABG underwent PCI with DES at two tertiary care centers in Kolkata.
