Abstract
The unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease is regarded as the highest-risk lesion subset of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is linked to significantly higher risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality when compared to other obstructive CAD. It has a mortality rate of up to 50% on a 3-year follow-up if left untreated [1]. For individuals with unprotected LMCA disease, the conventional revascularization method
