Hybrid coronary revascularization for the treatment of left main coronary stenosis: a feasibility study.
To determine the feasibility of a hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) approach for the treatment of left main (LM) coronary artery stenosis. ⋯ HCR for LM coronary disease is a feasible alternative to CABG and unprotected LM PCI. This approach combines the long-term durability of a LIMA-LAD bypass with the less invasive option of PCI in non-LAD targets with DES.
