CABG is the current gold-standard of care in patients with left main & multivessel disease

Isolated LM includes portion of ostial LAD and CX. A lesion

would have to be 3x RVD away from another lesion to count as

a separate lesion. So if lesion originates in LM and extends to

both LAD and CX that would be a LM isolated. Only when the

RVD criteria is met further down vessel, or obviously RCA, does

it count as +1/2/3.
