The study included 48 patients who were diagnosed with ≥2 coronary artery stenosis of ≥50% in native coronary arteries with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40%. Echocardiography was performed before and after 3 months of the procedure to observe LVEF. Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) score was calculated before and after 3 months after PCI.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Mean age of the patients was 61.89±9.96 years and 89.6% patients were male. Mean LVEF before and after angioplasty was 34.9±4.95% and 42.06±8.78%, respectively (p=0.001). CCS score before and after angioplasty was 2.89 and 1.83, respectively (p=0.001).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The results displayed significant improvement in clinical symptoms as well as LVEF after PCI in patients with multi-vessel disease with LVEF <40%. These results will be helpful to conduct larger randomized trials with long term follow-up in order to prove the safety and effectiveness of PCI in such patients over coronary artery bypass grafting.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences}, author={Singh, Abhimanyu and Banerjee, Tanmay and Kumar, Dilip}, year={2020}, month={Jan.}, pages={396–400} }
