Use of RTM stent in the percutaneous coronary intervention of coronary bifurcation lesions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Percutaneous intervention of coronary bifurcation lesion represents a technical challenge to the interventional cardiologist. It has been associated with lower procedural success, higher complication and restenosis rates. A bifurcation lesion is dened as the presence of signicant (greater than 50%) stenosis involving a parent (main) vessel at the ostium of the side-branch with or without sigRegional Medical Cardiology Centre, Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, BT12 6BA Northern Ireland

Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions; A Review and a Guide for Specific Interventional Techniques
Percutaneous coronary intervention in the setting of coronary bifurcation lesions is associated with increased risk for complications. The goal of this manuscript is to review the currently available classifications for coronary artery bifurcation lesions with a guide to the use of specific coronary bifurcation techniques based on lesion characteristics

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 کاملAcute and Long Term Outcomes of Coronary Intervention in Unprotected Left Main Lesions
Introduction : Significant left main coronary artery stenosis jeopardizes the entire myocardium of the left ventricle and has the worst prognosis of any form of coronary artery disease. Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been considered as the standard therapeutic approach for such patients. There are limited data on the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
متن کاملPredilation in Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: Must We Adhere to Einstein’s Reductionism?
Percutaneous treatment of complex coronary bifurcation lesions is a constant challenge for the interventionist. Bifurcation lesions are frequent, representing 15% to 20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Their treatment is associated with lower procedural success and a higher incidence of periprocedural myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis, as well as...
متن کاملThe complexity of stenting in bifurcation coronary lesions.
The treatment of bifurcation lesions remain a technical challenge. Bifurcation lesions represent up to 20% of coronary stenosis that demands percutaneous coronary intervention (1). They are associated with augmented long-term risk for reintervention and stent thrombosis compared with nonbranching lesions (2). Drug-eluting stents (DES) have demonstrated a marked reduction in restenosis, resultin...
