Abstract
Percutaneous coronary interventions to ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD)-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were challenging, especially in crossover stenting from left main trunk (LMT) to LAD. The clinical outcomes of ostial LAD-AMI that needed crossover stenting were not well investigated. The objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of LMT crossover stenting with those of ostial LAD just proximal (jp) stenting. Between January 2009 and March 2016, 1499 patients were diagnosed as AMI in our institution. Among them, 76 ostial LAD-AMIs were included in this study, and divided into 30 LMT crossover stenting (the crossover group) and 46 jp stenting (the jp stenting group). The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as the composite of cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stent thrombosis (ST), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The frequency of MACE was comparable between the 2 groups (16.7% in the crossover group and 21.7% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.587). Similarly, the frequency of cardiac death was comparable between the 2 groups (6.7% in the crossover group and 13.0% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.376). The frequencies of TLR (6.7% in the crossover group and 6.5% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.980) and TVR (10.0% in the crossover group and 8.7% in the jp stenting group, P = 0.848) were not significantly different between the 2 groups. In conclusion, the clinical outcomes of the crossover stenting were comparable to the jp stenting in the stenting strategy for ostial LAD-AMI. LMT-LAD crossover stenting would be the acceptable strategy for ostial LAD-AMI.
