Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease has remained the province of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. However, approximately 10 years ago there began an exploration of stent implantation into unprotected left main arteries and moreover, most important Drug-Eluting Stents have invigorated this field. Now, large-scale international clinical trials are under way to prove the safety and efficacy of percutaneous drug-eluting stent implantation as substitution for surgical therapy.

This 2-day symposium will penetrate this sub-set of patients with the strategies, tips & tricks and will have didactic lectures and case presentation from world opinion leaders in Left Main Stenting. Besides advanced techniques, devices, and all about Left Mains & Bifurcations will be discussed interactively.

Another academic viewpoint of the 1st Left Main Summit is the Consensus Document contributed by the invited faculty as well as the opinion leaders of this field that will be published and circulated through the prominent journals. That accumulation will dedicate Left Main Coronary Intervention to the next phase with no doubt.

Besides, Jeju is located less one hour by air from Seoul, and the perfect get away destination traveling to Korea, which is best experienced by the wonderful sites. In late August, Jeju has mild climate and excellent places to visit, so you can consider sparing some time for your summer vacation.

This meeting should be anchored and set a milestone as the next phase of the evolution in LM

Looking forward to meeting you in Jeju

Sincerely yours,
