Treatment dilemma: the

Effect of wire jailing at side branch in 1-stent strategy for coronary bifurcation lesions

06 May 2022

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of jailing a wire in the side branch of a bifurcation lesion to prevent side branch compromise during provisional main vessel stenting when a one-stent in bifurcation PCI technique is adopted.

Technical consideration for left main bifurcation in light of evidence

16 Dec 2021 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2021

Watch this session to get proved that provisional side-branch stenting is recommended for the majority of bifurcation lesions, including the LM, that DK-Crush appears to be the best two-stent technique for important SB with complex stenoses, and that imaging and physiology can optimize stenting strategy decision...
