Revascularization has been demonstrated to be clearly superior to medical therapy for significant unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) has a class 1 indication in both the American and European society guidelines for the treatment of LMCA disease. However, for the population of patients who are declined CABG after a heart team evaluation, percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) may be an efficacious alternative.

Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are rare and challenging, with increased diagnoses due to advanced cardiovascular imaging, even in low-income countries where diagnostic and therapeutic approaches can be difficult. This case report details a 65-year-old Black male patient with a history of hypertension and smoking who presented with a myocardial infarction. Despite no significant abnormalities apart from the infarction, invasive coronary angiography revealed a dominant right coronary artery (RCA) and an anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the right coronary sinus, bifurcating into the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery.

Iatrogenic coronary ostial stenosis (ICOS) is a rare but life-threatening complication of aortic root surgery. It can occur with the incidence of 0.3%-5% and affect more commonly the left main coronary artery (LMCA) compared to the right coronary artery (RCA).

The left main coronary artery (LMCA) supplies over 70% of the myocardium, and significant LMCA disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality. With remarkable advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including stent technology, antithrombotic agents, and evolving procedural techniques, PCI has become an important treatment option in clinical practice guidelines for the revascularization of LMCA disease. In contemporary clinical practice, a heart-team approach to shared decision-making, considering clinical/anatomic factors along with patient preferences, is emphasized for patients with significant LMCA disease requiring myocardial revascularization.
