AIMS Our aim was to compare, in a large unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) all-comer registry, the long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS AND RESULTS Of a total of 2,775 patients enrolled in the Drug Eluting Stents for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease (DELTA) multicentre registry, 379 (13.7%) patients with ACS treated with PCI (n=272) or CABG (n=107) were analysed. Baseline demographics were considerably different in the two groups before propensity matching. No significant differences emerged for…

Background The optimal revascularization strategy of women with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in this cohort treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) utilising drug-eluting stents (DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods All consecutive women from the Drug Eluting stent for LefT main coronary Artery disease (DELTA) Registry with ULMCA disease treated by PCI with DES or CABG were analysed. A propensity matching was performed to adjust for baseline differences between the 2 treatment groups. Results In total, 818 women were included: 489 (59.8%) und…
