Abstract The 15 th European Bifurcation Club (EBC) meeting was held in Barcelona in
October 2019. It facilitated a renewed consensus on coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) and …

Abstract 3D printing as a means of fabrication has seen increasing applications in medicine
in the last decade, becoming invaluable for cardiovascular applications. This rapidly …

Abstract The European Bifurcation Club recommends an approach to a bifurcation stenosis
which involves careful assessment, planning and a sequential provisional approach. In the …

Background Defining the optimal conduction of percutaneous‐coronary‐intervention (PCI) to
treat bifurcation lesions has been the subject of many clinical studies showing that the …

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been most commonly guided by coronary
angiography. However, to overcome the inherent limitations of conventional coronary …

Patient-specific and lesion-specific computational simulation of bifurcation stenting is an
attractive approach to achieve individualized pre-procedural planning that could improve …

Abstract Background and Objective Haemodynamic metrics, such as blood flow induced
shear stresses at the inner vessel lumen, are associated with the development and …

Background To treat stenosed coronary arteries, percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA) balloon catheters must combine pushability, trackability, crossability …

Interventions in bifurcation lesions often requires aggressive overexpansion of stent
diameter in the setting of long tapering vessel segment. Overhanging struts in front of the …

Coronary bifurcation lesions present a challenging lesion subset regarding procedural
complexity and worse patient outcomes as compared to simple lesions. Drug eluting stents …
