[Occlusion of the trunk of the left coronary artery].
Atherosclerosis-induced occlusion of the left coronary artery (LCA) is a rare findings registered angiographically. It is associated with a high risk of a fatal outcome. Eight cases of LCA occlusion are reported. A profound ST depression was shown by all ECG variants: bicycle exercise, Holter monitoring, 12-lead registration during angina attack. The conus branch gave collaterals to anterior descending artery in all the cases. Seven cases were treated surgically, one patient rejected operation and was alive at 3.5-year follow-up examination. Etiology and therapeutic policy in occlusion of the LCA are discussed.
