Influence of left main-left circumflex artery angle on long-term outcomes in crossover stenting for ostial left circumflex artery lesions: insights from the Multicenter CROSS-LCX Registry

Key Points

• This research aims to examine the impact of the left main-left circumflex artery angle on cardiovascular outcomes following crossover stenting.
• Conducted as a multicenter registry study
• Evaluated patients with ostial left circumflex artery lesions
• Analyzed the relationship between left main-LCX angle and long-term cardiovascular events
• Found that a narrow left main-LCX angle of 99° is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events
• Suggests that the artery angle may serve as a predictive factor for patient outcomes
