    Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is the standard of care for unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD), largely because repeat revascularization is required after implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES).

However, several key issues in provisional side branch (SB) stenting remain to be understudied.
