Abstract
- Coronary artery bypass grafting has long been the standard of care for patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Lately, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become a suitable alternative for these patients, but the procedure may be challenging. We describe 2 cases of LMCA PCI failure requiring surgical intervention. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)<br />Graphical abstract
