Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) intervention is challengingto the operator due to a wide array of factors as compared to treating other stenosis elsewhere in the coronary tree. Complications arising from hemodynamic instability, lack of proximal reference angiographically and lesion preparation due to a higher rate of atherosclerosis make LM Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by far the most complex…

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…

While provisional stenting has remained the preferred strategy for majority of bifurcation lesions, controversies still exist regarding when and how to use complex techniques. Most of randomised studies comparing simple and complex approaches have focused on selected populations, included both ‘true’ and ‘non-true’ bifurcation lesions, used first-generation drug eluting stents (DES) and favoured…

EuroPCR 23 — We are joined by Dr Mirvat Alasnag (The King Fahd Armed Forces Hospital, SA) for an insightful summary of three late-breaking trials that are expected to have a impact on interventional science and clinical practice.
Trials covered in detail include:
EBC TWO Five Year Follow-Up: Two-Stent Vs One for Large Bifurcation Lesions
BASILICA Vs Chimney-Stenting for TAVR-Related Coronary…

Since Andreas Gruentzig presented his pioneering work in 1977, 'three revolutions' in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have characterised the field of interventional cardiology. Plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) was refined by the introduction of bare metal stenting (BMS) (second revolution) to address the issue of acute vessel recoil and unacceptably high rates of restenosis. Drug…

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…

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…

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…
