High-grade involvement of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), either in isolation or as part of multivessel coronary artery disease, remains a frequent indication for surgical revascularization. This is particularly true in complex proximal LAD lesions among high-risk patients, since stenting is usually ineffective in the long term as regards freedom from angina and target vessel revascularization (TVR) in such patient subsets. The sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been reported to significantly reduce clinical and angiographic restenosis rates. We therefore analyzed the clinical and angiographic long-term results of a group of complex patients treated with SES for proximal LAD stenoses.
