The present study aims to compare a planned angiographic control (PAC) follow-up strategy vs. conservative management for patients treated with drug-eluting stents on unprotected left main artery in a prospective, randomized setting. PAC will be performed by coronary computed tomography (CCT), to avoid the limitations of the invasive coronary angiography which is usually employed to perform PAC. The superiority of a PAC-based approach will be tested on a hard clinical end-point such as the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. The investigators will also assess the performance of CCT as a tool to perform PAC.
