Abstract
The left ventricle-to-coronary artery stent is a simple and readily deployable device that allows the perfusion of epicardial vessels directly from the left ventricle and can provide significant blood flow to improve the performance of ischemic myocardium. It may provide an effective, alternative means of treating coronary artery disease when standard coronary artery bypass graft surgery is not suitable.
