Bifurcation Exploration website: Bifurcation visualisations from a whole new perspective

Sponsored by Medtronic

The Bifurcation Exploration website details five step-by-step bifurcation techniques with endoscopic imaging that show you what’s happening inside the vessel at each stage.

Stent considerations in bifurcations

  • Precise deployment
  • Even scaffolding
  • Ease of secondary device crossing
  • Device catch rate
  • Capability to clear metal from side branch opening
  • Conformability and apposition

RESOLUTE ONYX DES stent design

  • Platinum-iridium core enhances visibility
  • Dedicated extra large vessel design
  • Rounded struts for easier side branch access
  • Regular cell shape
  • Larger cell size for extra large vessel design
  • Single wire design for increased conformability and apposition
