Bifurcation Club: Latin American Cases-How Would You Have Done It? A Challenging Left Main Case

How Would You Have Done It? A Challenging Left Main Case

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webinar, a complex medical case of a 75-year-old man with severe heart conditions and a challenging medical history was discussed. The patient presented with intense chest pain and had a history of alcoholism, cirrhosis, and esophageal bleeding, making surgery risky. The team debated treatment options: CABG, PCI, or medical treatment. Ultimately, a PCI was performed, starting with the RCA to provide support before addressing a complicated trifurcation in the left circulation using TAP stenting. The procedure aimed at improving blood flow despite the patient's high risk for bleeding, showcasing advanced interventional strategies.
