What are the essentials of the provisional strategy for non-left main true bifurcation lesions?

Giuseppe Di Gioia and Jens Flensted Lassen explore the essentials of the provisional stenting strategy for non-left main true bifurcation lesions. This stepwise approach offers simplicity while preserving flexibility: start with one stent in the main vessel, and keep the option open for a second if needed. Learn the critical steps for optimal results, with a particular focus on post-dilatation in the proximal main vessel.

They also touch on the role of intravascular imaging, protective systems, and strategies for side-branch management. Finally, they consider how drug-coated balloons could help reduce the metal footprint in this pathway.
