Left Main Stenting 

Left main stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages or narrowing in the left main coronary artery. 

This critical artery is responsible for providing blood flow to the left side of the heart.   When this artery becomes narrowed or blocked due to atherosclerosis (build-up of plaque), it can lead to reduced blood flow and potentially life-threatening complications, such as a heart attack or heart failure.
