RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: In the distal left main (LM) atherosclerosis mainly develops within bifurcation or trifur-cation. The aim of this study was to analyze the strategy of distal LM stenosis treatment and associated clinical outcomes in a large hospital in Northern Poland. METHODS: The study population consisted of consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and distal LM stenosis who were hospitalized between June 2012 and June 2013. Patients were treated with regular drug-eluting stents (rDES), including bioresorbable vascular scaffolds, or dedicated bifurcation stents (BiOSS LIM®). Clinical outcomes were analyzed at 12, 24 and 36 months. Primary endpoint was cumulative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) inducing rate of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (TLR) after 36 months. RESULTS: One hundred and two patients were identified, 90 of whom were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (56 rDES, including 9 Absorb, and 34 BiOSS) with no stent implantation fail-ure. In 15 (16.7%) patients rDES was required within side branch (SB). After 36 months MACE rate was 19.0% (BiOSS: 18.8% vs. rDES 19.2%), whereas TLR rate was 10.7% (BiOSS 12.5% vs. rDES 9.6%). In logistic regression for 36-month TLR rate proximal optimization technique (OR 0.311, 95% CI 0.211-0.644) was a prognostic factor of better clinical outcome, whereas non-ST-elevation ACS (OR 2.211, 95% CI 1.642-5.110), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (OR 2.771, 95% CI 1.325-7.209) and SB stenting (OR 1.141, 95% CI 1.002-1.881) were risk factors of poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Regular drug-eluting stents as well as dedicated bifurcation BiOSS LIM® stents enabled a simple and fast distal LM treatment option with a single stent. Both resulted in comparable MACE and TLR rates.

BACKGROUND: Coronary bifurcation lesions pose therapeutic problems during percutaneous coronary interventions. The aim of this study was to analyze the strategy of coronary bifurcation treatment and associated angiographic as well as clinical outcomes in a large hospital in Northern Poland. METHODS: Between January 2012 and January 2014 patients with stable coronary artery disease or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) were treated with regular drug-eluting stents (rDES) or dedicated bifurcation stents (BiOSS Expert® or BiOSS LIM®). Clinical and angiographic controls were planned at 12 months. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) rate composed of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months. RESULTS: In total, 152 patients were enrolled in whom 158 stents were deployed (99 BiOSS stents and 59 rDES). Left anterior descending artery (50%) was the dominant target vessel followed by left circum¬flex (25%). There was no stent implantation failure. In 10 (6.3%) patients rDES was required within the side branch. At 12 months MACE rate was 11.2%, whereas TLR rate was 7.9%. In the logistic regression analysis final kissing balloon technique was the prognostic factor for better clinical outcome, whereas NSTE-ACS and true bifurcations were risk factors of a poor outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous coronary bifurcation treatment is a safe and effective procedure, and pro¬visional T-stenting is the preferred technique. Both rDES as well as dedicated bifurcation stents enabled a simple and fast bifurcation treatment option with comparable MACE and TLR rates. (Cardiol J 2017; 24, 6: 589-596).

We present a case of 73 year-old patient who underwent coronary angiography due to suspicion of acute coronary syndrome without persistent ST segment elevation. The angiographic result showed no lesions that could cause recurrent chest pain,but it also revealed a seldom coronary artery abnormality - left coronary artery arising from right coronary sinus. Performed computed tomography of the chest confirmed the result of the coronarography. But apart from that it found the signs of neoplastic disease which was probably responsible for clinical presentation.
