The preferred treatment approach for bifurcation disease can be generally summed up as ‘keep it simple’, otherwise known as provisional stenting.

In the past few decades, major progress has been made in the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease. Initially, the emergence of balloon angioplasty offered an alternative option for coronary revascularisation. However, abrupt closure and restenosis caused by elastic recoil, neointimal hyperplasia and late remodelling were major drawbacks of balloon angioplasty.1 The use of drug… View more
