Abstract

Left main coronary artery stenting requires rigorous planning and optimal execution. This case series presents a new approach to left main stenting guided by preprocedural patient-specific computational simulations. Three patients with significant left main artery disease underwent simulation-guided intervention using a novel stent scaffold purpose-built for large coronary arteries. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
