#Perforations of #LeftMainBifurcations can be fatal. Hemostasis & maintenance of flow in coronaries are critical. Covered stents can be life-saving.

A routine invasive strategy did not improve clinical outcomes in frail patients with NSTEMI. Future trials should confirm whether a policy of watchful observation rather than routine invasive management may be effective for these patients. https://t.co/N4hAXg5fid
