| ==Overview==
| |
| The left main coronary artery is the origin of the [[left coronary artery]] that lies between the aorta and the bifurcation of the left coronary artery into the [[left anterior descending artery]] and the [[left circumflex artery]]. It is 1 to 25 mm long, and is normally 3 to 5 mm wide. Severe narrowing of the left main coronary artery can result in death due to [[coronary ischemia]], and is an indication for [[coronary artery bypass grafting]] or [[coronary stenting]].
