Bifurcation lesions

Find all the latest content on bifurcation lesions published on this website.

The percutaneous treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is very dynamic with an ongoing evolution in clinical approaches and techniques and the management of more complex cases continuing to evolve. Keep up-to-date about all these changes along with the latest research and devices as well as advances in imaging, the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or understanding bleeding risks. Use the filters below to access PCRonline resources.

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.
