For better visualization of the left main coronary artery, a new technique involving transection of the main pulmonary artery is described. With this new method it was possible to perform endarterectomy of the left main coronary artery in 35 patients from February 1981 to July 1987. The endarterectomy incision was closed with a pericardial or venous patch. We had no mortality, and 91% are free from angina at a mean follow-up of 31 months. Angiographic evaluation was performed in 19 patients revealing good patency of the left main artery. This procedure is safe, and we recommend it in isolated left main coronary artery stenosis without distal involvement and with good left ventricular function.
