31 LMCA RevascularizaCon in ACS I IIa IIb III PCI to improve survival is reasonable in patients with UA/ NSTEMI when an unprotected left main coronary artery is the culprit lesion and the patient is not a candidate for CABG. I IIa IIb III PCI to improve survival is reasonable in patients with acute STEMI when an unprotected left main coronary artery is the culprit lesion, distal coronary flow is less than TIMI grade 3, and PCI can be performed more rapidly and safely than CABG.

32 Conclusion LMCA disease is the only lesion subset for which revascularizacon is unequivocally accepted as improving survival over medical therapy Heart Team approach CABG in the high SYNTAX score and/or DM pacent PCI is becoming more accepted as a primary treatment modality for LMCA disease Especially in pacents at higher surgical risk Especially with low- intermediate SYNTAX score
