What is the long-term survival rate of patients with left main coronary artery disease?
Studies have shown that the long-term survival rate of patients with left main coronary artery disease is generally good, with results ranging from 78-90% at 10-year follow-up. Studies have also shown that coronary bypass surgery can improve survival rates in these patients, with some studies showing a mortality benefit of up to 50%. Additionally, results from the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Trialists Collaboration show that coronary artery bypass graft surgery can improve survival compared to medical therapy.
