2007, Current Problems in CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The majority of patients with significant LMCA stenosis have, in addition, significant narrowing of at least one of the other major coronary vessels. Isolated LMCA disease is an unusual clinical entity, and when seen, is predominantly at the ostium.13 Congenital anomalies for LMCA are infrequent, i.e. it may originate from the right coronary cusp or the noncoronary cusp.
In-stent restenosis in idiopathic isolated ostial left main coronary artery stenosis
2007, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The etiology, natural course and prognosis of this disorder remain uncertain as it was described only in a limited number of literatures in form of short case series or individual case reports. In some surgical series, yellow atheroma could be universally found in aortic wall encroaching on the left main artery ostium, but not found in the body of left main artery in two-third of patients [1]. Thus, the pathology of this disorder might be aortic in origin rather than coronary.
