Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions: stent-covering of the side branch with and without PCI of the side branch: a retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is a complex problem. METHODS This retrospective single-center study included all consecutive patients with PCI of coronary bifurcations with stent covering of the side branch (SB) between January 2008 - August 2011. RESULTS Our study group (n = 98) was group A (n = 64, 65.3%) and group B (n = 34, 34.7%). Mean follow-up was 14.1 (group A) vs 12.3 (group B, p = ns) months. CONCLUSION In patients with coronary bifurcations a simpler strategy has a significantly lower MACE. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01538186.

Background: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for bifurcated lesions is associated with a low rate of success and high rate of complications compared to such treatment of lesions of most other morphologies. Symptoms occurring at the time of procedure caused by PCI may require additional angiography with or without stenting through stent struts, which subsequently increases risks of reste...
متن کاملImpact of Side-Branch Flow in Coronary Bifurcation Intervention
BACKGROUND The optimal strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery bifurcation lesions has yet to be agreed upon. We compared a strategy for stenting the main vessel to provide a complete perfusion flow in the side branch, namely thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) - III, with a strategy for intervention in both the main vessel and the side branch (MV + SB)...

Background and Objectives: The presence of elevated troponin after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered to reflect irreversible myocardial injury. However, its prognostic value remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of troponin I (TnI) elevation after the implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES). Subject...
متن کاملFlow Patterns at Stented Coronary Bifurcations
Coronary bifurcations remain one of the most challenging lesion subsets, even in the era of drug-eluting stents. Single stent implantation in the main vessel with provisional stenting to the side branch vessel has been found superior to double stenting and is considered the default approach in most coronary bifurcation lesions. However, in true bifurcation lesions, this provisional approach may...

Ostial lesions present unique challenges for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These lesions are often more calcified, fibrotic, rigid, and more prone to elastic recoil. Intervention on these lesions is associated with higher procedural complications and higher rates of restenosis. Ostial lesions require precise stent placement in the ostium with the absence of side branch compromise. A...
