Coronary Bifurcation Disease and Bifurcation Stenting: a Practical Approach
Approximately 20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are performed to treat coronary bifurcations. PCIs in bifurcation lesions have been associated with lower procedural success rates and worse clinical outcomes than non-bifurcation lesions. In addition, PCIs in bifurcation are renowned for being technically demanding. Indeed, there are several challenges in percutaneous treatment of...

متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention of bifurcation coronary disease.
Bifurcation coronary artery disease is a frequent problem faced by interventional cardiologists and it affects approximately 15-20% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The application of drug-eluting stents (DES) technology to prevent restenosis after PCI represents one of the success stories in cardiology, but DES have not resolved the bifurcation PCI challenge. Bi...
متن کاملThe sex difference in manifestations of carotid bifurcation disease.
One would think that risk factors for transient ischemic attack (TIA) and asymptomatic carotid bruit (ACB) would be similar. In our referral population and in several previously reported cohort populations, however, men outnumber women among patients with TIA. In contrast, women outnumber men among patients with ACB. We found in two independent populations that women with ACB are up to 5.7 time...
