Safety of Revascularization Deferral of Left Main Stenosis Based on Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Evaluation
05 Aug 2020
The main message appears to be that iFR-based deferral of LM revascularization is not linked to an excessive risk of MACE during 30-month median follow-up. Given the historical predominance of angiography-based decision making, this study provides further evidence in support of thinking and acting beyond angiography...

Multicentre, randomised comparison of two-stent and provisional stenting techniques in patients with complex coronary bifurcation lesions: the DEFINITION II trial
22 Jul 2020
DEFINITION-II adds to the evidence that an upfront 2-stent strategy may be most appropriate in true complex bifurcation lesions.

Clinical outcomes following coronary bifurcation PCI techniques: a systematic review and network meta-analysis comprising 5,711 patients
07 Jul 2020
The main message of this study is that DK-crush was associated with fewer MACE, driven by lower rates of repeat revascularisation, whereas no significant differences among techniques were observed for cardiac death, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis.

Are higher operator volumes for unprotected left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention associated with improved patient outcomes?
15 Jun 2020
The presented results appear to further strengthen the notion that operator’s experience may be an important effect modifier in LM PCI.
