When and how to treat the side branch in non-left main bifurcations?

Anchorperson: J. F. Lassen

Spokesperson: G. Stankovic

Summary

Explore this video session covering essential techniques for handling bifurcations in coronary interventions. Learn to evaluate side branch significance and the need for a second stent, illustrated through three case studies. Discover main vessel stenting for a large side branch, various approaches like T-stenting, TAP, or Culotte, and the DK crush technique. Additionally, gain insights into managing difficult side branch access and wiring, including post-closure strategies.

Learning Objectives

To understand which side branch requires intervention and how it may impact on main branch results
To discuss the indications for side branch stenting
To reflect on techniques to assess side branch disease and significance
To review available options to treat side branch
