Left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention (LMS‐PCI) is a complex high‐risk procedure which can be performed as an alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure in surgical turn‐down patients or where there is equipoise in percutaneous versus surgical strategies. Current guidelines suggest that PCI is an appropriate alternative to CABG in patients with unprotected LMS disease and low SYNTAX score. However, “real world” data on outcomes of LMS‐PCI remain limited. This study aims to quantify and determine predictors of mortality following LMS‐PCI.
