Rheolytic effects of left main mid-shaft/distal stenting: a computational flow dynamic analysisKeywords: computed fluid dynamic, coronary stent, interventional, left main, physiology Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the rheolytic effects of stenting a mid-shaft/distal left main coronary artery (LMCA) lesion with and without ostial coverage. Stenting of the LMCA has emerged as a valid alternative in place of traditional coronary bypass graft surgery. However, in case of mid-shaft/distal lesion, there is no consensus regarding the extension of the strut coverage up to the ostium or to stent only the culprit lesion
