The role of DCB in non-left main true bifurcations

Spokesperson: F. Alfonso

Discussants: F. Almutairi, A. Ochala, K. Teeuwen, P. Smits, A. Marchese

Summary

This session offers a detailed exploration of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in non-left main true bifurcation lesions. Learn to define suitable lesion characteristics for provisional stenting, understand stepwise procedural strategies minimizing implanted material, and appreciate the role of intravascular imaging in assessing bifurcation complexity and optimizing DCB application.

Learning Objectives

To define lesion characteristics suitable for a provisional stenting approach and the use of DCB in bifurcation lesions
To understand the procedural steps of stepwise provisional strategy for bifurcation stenting, focusing on minimising material left behind, in non-left main bifurcation lesions
To clarify the role of imaging when treating bifurcation lesions with a provisional stenting technique and assessing the suitability of DCBs application
