  • Title: Utility of cardiac MRI in guiding revascularization therapy in unprotected left main stenosis: a case report.
    Author: Suh WM, Fowler SJ, Wallis JB, Kern MJ, Ahsan CH.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2007; 8(3):209-12. PubMed ID: 17765652.
    Abstract:
    Decision to select unprotected left main (ULM) stenting versus coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) depends on a multiplicity of factors, one of the most critical of which is myocardial viability. Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as a useful means of comprehensively evaluating viable myocardium in postmyocardial infarct patients who require further revascularization. We present a patient with ULM stenosis in whom CMR imaging assisted in the decision to perform percutaneous coronary intervention over CABG.
