Abstract
After long-term follow-up, 17 of 18 patients had an excellent result of direct surgical angioplasty of the left main coronary artery. MRI is a safe and noninvasive way to visualize the left main coronary artery after direct surgical angioplasty, but quantitative assessment of a lesion is not reliable. Fractional flow reserve measurements are mandatory to evaluate the hemodynamic properties of the left main coronary artery after direct surgical angioplasty.
