Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions, part II: implanting two stents. The 16th expert consensus document of the European Bifurcation Club

28 Jul 2022

Although the default strategy remains a stepwise provisional strategy, the authors of the 16th expert consensus document recognize that up to 25 % of all single stent approaches eventually require a second.

3-year outcomes after a 2-stent with provision stenting for complex bifurcation lesions defined by DEFINITION criteria

06 Jul 2022

DEFINITION II was a randomised control trial comparing PCI in complex bifurcation lesions using a two-stent technique versus a provisional stenting strategy. At one year follow-up, a two-stent technique was superior to a provisional approach in true complex bifurcations. Here, the authors present the 3-year clinical outcomes...
