DES and DCB for bifurcation treatment

Summary

Examine the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) in bifurcation lesion treatment. This session compares devices, analyses DAPT duration, and evaluates side branch optimization to inform best practices in bifurcation PCI.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • A comparison of DEB with DES in medina 001 bifurcation lesions
  • Comparison of sirolimus- versus everolimus-eluting stent systems in coronary bifurcation lesions
  • Drug-coated balloons versus non-coated balloons for the side branch: a meta-analysis
  • Length of DAPT in patients treated with percutaneous revascularisation on coronary bifurcations
  • Proximal side branch optimisation and re-intervention: a pooled analysis of EVOLUTE-CRUSH registries
