Why and how to perform Proximal Optimisation Technique (POT)

17 Apr 2020

Proximal stent optimization to pMV reference diameter needs to be performed with an adequately sized (1:1) and meticulously positioned balloon since either too proximal or too distal position of POT balloon leads to suboptimal results. Discover the tips and solutions proposed by Zlatko Mehmedbegovic et al.

Three-year outcomes of the DKCRUSH-V trial comparing DK crush with provisional stenting for left main bifurcation lesions

15 Oct 2019

DKCRUSH-V showed lower rates of target lesion failure at one year in the DKCRUSH arm, mainly driven by increased rates of target vessel MI. In this paper, the authors report the extended follow-up to three years.
