The Value of Angio CT Multislice for Pre-operative Assessment and Prediction of Post PCI Successful Intervention in Acute Coronary Syndromes Associated by Left Main Disease

Abstract

Introduction: The location of culprit lesions on the left main is associated with an increased procedural risk in acute coronary syndromes. Our study aims to evaluate the utility of CT angiography determined Syntax score (CCTA) in comparison with the classical angiographic Syntax score for predicting the procedural success in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of left main lesions.
