Provisional Stenting Tricks
Author(s): Francesco Burzotta , Carlo Trani Added: 3 years ago
Diseased coronary bifurcations are frequently treated by percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and in these complex lesions the adoption of the most suitable treatment technique and the selection of the most appropriate coronary stent are of primary importance. Clinical evidence suggests that drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation using a provisional approach is the gold standard for… View more

Abstract Together with calcified lesions, saphenous vein grafts, chronic total occlusions and unprotected left main lesions, bifurcation lesions are complex lesions that remain among the outstanding challenges of treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention. Bifurcation lesions are associated with increased rates of procedural complications, restenosis and adverse events than lesions in the… View more

Coronary bifurcation disease is present in up to 15–20 % of lesions undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and remains one of the outstanding challenges of treatment with PCI.1,2 PCI for coronary bifurcations is associated with more procedural complications and higher restenosis and adverse event rates than lesions in the body of the vessel.3–7 The introduction of drug-eluting stents… View more

OCT-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Bifurcation Lesions
Author(s): Luca Longobardo , Alessio Mattesini , Serafina Valente , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are treated in 15–20% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and are still plagued by worse outcomes.1 This is in spite of recent significant advancements in stent technology in general and in bifurcation stenting techniques in particular. Conventional angiography provides only limited information about bifurcation anatomy, plaque distribution… View more

A critical stenosis in left main coronary artery (LMCA) is observed in 3–5% of all patients who undergo coronary angiography and in 10–30% of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1 Significant LMCA disease is a high-risk condition because of the extent of jeopardised myocardium. Current practice guidelines recommend CABG as the standard therapy for patients with… View more

Coronary artery bifurcations are at an increased risk of the development of coronary atherosclerosis because of turbulent flow and low shear stress. Bifurcation lesions account for between 8% and 22% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and have long posed a problem for interventional cardiologists. Published data show bifurcation lesions treated using bare metal stents (BMS) have… View more

Approximately 15–20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are performed to treat coronary bifurcations. These procedures are renowned for being technically challenging and historically have been associated with lower procedural success rates and worse clinical outcomes compared with non-bifurcation lesions.1,2 A bifurcation lesion is a lesion occurring at, or adjacent to, a significant… View more
