Explore current treatments and evolving frontiers in the management of complex coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. Learn about patterns of coronary artery disease in NSTEMI and the optimal timing of invasive angiography. Considerations for left main patients and the use of unprotected left main stenting are also discussed.

Pattern of coronary artery disease in NSTEMI • In contrast to STEMI, determining the culprit artery in NSTEMI is not always feasible in all patients • A coronary lesion should be considered culprit if it fulfills at least two of the following criteria: • intraluminal filing defect (thrombus) • plaque ulceration, • plaque irregularity • dissection or impaired flow
Pattern of coronary artery disease in NSTEMI • Up to 20% of patients with NSTE-ACS have no lesions or nonobstructive lesions of epicardial coronary arteries • Patients with obstructive CAD, 40 – 80% have multivessel disease • LAD coronary artery is the most frequent culprit vessel in both STEMI and NSTEMI-ACS (in up to 40% of patients) • Regarding the distribution within the infarct-related artery, culprit lesions in NSTE- ACS are more often located within the proximal and mid segments (3-8% LM) Mehta SR et. al ,.

Which Left Main Patients Should Go For CABG? • Is the SYNTAX score very high? • Can we achieve complete revascularization? § Is revascularization of an occluded RCA important in this patient? • Is the patient a diabetic? • Is the left main heavily calcified, and tortuous with good distal targets for bypass grafting? • Do co-morbid considerations make the patient a poor candidate for CABG?
Left main coronary artery stenosis as a culprit lesion in the acute coronary syndromes PCI should be preferred in the presence of the following clinical features – Cardiogenic shock – Initial TIMI 1/0 flow – Isolated LMCA culprit lesion – Poor surgical candidate (high euroSCORE, distal coronary disease unfavorable to CABG or co-morbidity, including chronic obstructive lung disease and renal failure) – Favorable anatomy providing complete revascularization (low or intermediate SYNTAX score) – Patients with rudimentary circumflex artery

Q & AAPLT 83 year old, female with unstable angina and porcelain aorta undergoing PCI. Which of the following is false? • Radial access is recommended over femoral, if performed by an experienced radial operator. • Aspirin in the dose of 325 mg is recommended on top of an P2Y12 agent. • Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are recommended in patients on DAPT, since gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for a big portion of bleeding complications. • Routine platelet function testing is not recommended, due to it not being reliably associated with clinical outcomes.

Left main coronary artery stenosis as a non-culprit lesion in acute coronary syndromes • Concurrent LMCA and non-LMCA PCI has worse outcomes than isolated LMCA PCI • it is logical to postpone LMCA revascularization if the culprit lesion is located in the right coronary artery (RCA). • PCI of culprit lesion located either in LAD or CX in the presence of significant LMCA lesion is a hazardous clinical issue and may necessitate concurrent LMCA intervention. • Short and long-term data on simultaneous PCI of LMCA and non-LMCA culprit vessel are not well-defined.

Left main coronary artery stenosis as a culprit lesion in the acute coronary syndromes CABG is a preferred option: – Concomitant valvular disease or mechanical complication – Heavy calcified LMCA disease – Multi-vessel disease with high SYNTAX score – Reduced left ventricular function – Diabetic patients.
Potential Consequences of Multivessel InterventionDuring PPCI • Favorable • Ensuring adequate, complete, early revascularization • Revascularization of remote ischemic myocardial territory • Lower requirement of repeated procedures • Improvement of left ventricular function • Stabilization of additional disrupted plaques • Reduction of hospital stay • Reduction in hospital costs • Improving long-term clinical outcome (?) • Unfavorable • Prolonged procedures • Larger amount of contrast media (heart failure, renal failure) • Concerns of jeopardizing remote but critical myocardium in the acute phase • Higher rates of procedure-related myocardial infarction • Higher requirement of late procedures as the result of restenosis from • multivessel stenting • Inaccurate assessment of lesion severity/revascularization requirements • Shadowing in-hospital and long-term prognosis (?)

Conclusions • In the setting of acute coronary syndromes, percutaneous intervention of unprotected LMCA lesions can be performed with reliable results in selected patients. • In MV CAD, PCI has an important role in ACS. • Concurrent LMCA and non-LMCA culprit vessel intervention can also be performed securely with good long-term results in selected patients • Surgery can be selected for stable patients with multi-vessel disease and/or higher SYNTAX score. • Cardiogenic shock and hemodynamic instability are obligatory indications for PCI, although associated major adverse cardiac events are more frequent.
