Long diffuse coronary artery stenosis is often encountered in elderly patients. Many of these patients have multivessel disease, previous myocardial infarction, diabetes and impaired left ventricular function. Due to a combination of diffuse disease, small caliber vessels and often heavy calcification, bypass graft surgery for such vessels is associated with poor short and long-term outcomes. By virtue of their length, long lesions often involve a multiple number of side branches or significant side branches, angulated segments, tapered segments and small caliber terminal branches. As a result, angioplasty for long diffuse lesions is associated with a slightly higher in-hospital complication rate and poorer long-term outcome. Despite the development of coronary stenting over the last decade, PTCA for long diffuse lesions remains problematic. Due to the nature of the disease, there is a higher risk of stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Current approaches include the use of long balloons, rotational atherectomy, laser angioplasty, and a combination of primary or bail-out spot stenting.
