Coronary angiography has historically served as the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary
artery disease and guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Adjunctive use of …

Abstract Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions remains an ongoing challenge for
interventional cardiologists. Stenting of coronary bifurcations carries higher risk for in-stent …

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 …

Objectives This study used a fractal bifurcation bench model to compare 6 optimization
sequences for coronary bifurcation provisional stenting, including 1 novel sequence without …

Background: There are limited data regarding the impact of final kissing balloon (FKI) in
patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention using ultrathin stents in left main or …

Bifurcation coronary artery disease is common as the development of atherosclerosis is
facilitated by altered endothelial shear stress. Multiple anatomical and physiological factors …

Background A coronary bifurcation stenting is still a challenging issue due to frequent
restenosis and stent thrombosis even with drug-eluting stents. The bifurcation angle (BA) …

Final kissing balloon inflation (KBI) after provisional bifurcation stenting has failed to provide
clear clinical benefit except for a decrease in side branch stenosis, while a significant …

Aim We sought to investigate the efficacy of the proximal optimization technique (POT) on
crossover stenting followed by side branch (SB) dilation under optical coherence …

During the coronary bifurcation intervention procedure, imaging including intravascular
ultrasound and optical coherence tomography is essential to provide precise anatomy of the …
