Everolimus-Eluting Stents or Bypass Surgery for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
BACKGROUND Patients with obstructive left main coronary artery disease are usually treated with coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG). Randomized trials have suggested that drug-eluting stents may be an acceptable alternative to CABG in selected ...

Coronary artery anomalies: A diagnostic challenge [PDF]
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are found in approximately 1% of all patients undergoing coronary angiography and in 0.3% of patients undergoing autopsy (Roberts, 1986). CAAs may be classified into those of origin and course, intrinsic coronary arterial
