Results of percutaneous drug-eluting stent implantation for unprotected left main coronary disease according to left ventricular systolic function†

Objectives: We aimed to appraise the early and long-term outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with unprotected left main disease (ULM) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVD). Background: PCI with DES has being performed with increasing frequency in subjects with ULM and LVD, but few specific data are available. Setting and Patients: We identified patients undergoing PCI with DES for ULM at our Center and distinguished those with ejection fraction (EF) >50% from those with 40% 50%, 32.0% with 40% 50%, 41.6% in those with 40%
