This review evaluated percutaneous drug eluting stent implantation for unprotected left main coronary artery disease. The authors concluded that there are potentially favourable early and midterm results in selected patients. The reliability of the authors’ conclusion is unclear, given that this was a poorly reported review, with limitations in the search strategy, the review process and the synthesis of studies.
