What It Is:
● Treats blockages at the junction where the left main artery splits into LAD and LCx.
● Uses a stent to widen the artery and restore blood flow.
Treatment Approaches:
● Single-Stent (Provisional): For simpler lesions, with escalation if needed.
● Dual-Stent Techniques: For more complex blockages involving side branches.
● Imaging Guidance: Ensures optimal stent positioning and reduces complications.
Why It’s Complex:
● High-risk area supplying a large portion of the heart.
● Requires precise stent placement and advanced techniques.
Benefits:
● Improves blood flow and heart function.
● Relieves symptoms like chest pain.
● Offers a safe, non-surgical solution for complex blockages.
