Iterations in stent technologies, advances in pharmacotherapy, and awareness of the
implications of implantation techniques have markedly reduced the risk of stent failure, both …

Abstract The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) supports a continuous review of the field of
coronary artery bifurcation interventions and aims to facilitate a scientific discussion and an …

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) …

Provisional stenting has become the default technique for the treatment of most coronary
bifurcation lesions. However, the side branch (SB) can become compromised after main …

Introduction The optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy for coronary left
main (LM) bifurcation lesions remains controversial. This meta-analysis compared the …

Percutaneous treatment of the left main coronary artery is one of the most challenging
scenarios in interventional cardiology, due to the large portion of myocardium at risk the …

Objectives This study aimed to detail the technical management of Medina 0.0. 1 lesions,
assess their outcomes, and identify predictors of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events …

Background: Side branch predilatation (SBPD) during coronary bifurcation interventions is a
technique that is not recommended by the latest guideline s. However, the data about the …

Abstract Knowledge in the field of bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTOs)
has progressively improved over the past 20 years. Therefore, the European Bifurcation …

The left main coronary artery (LMCA) supplies over 70% of the myocardium, and significant
LMCA disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality. With remarkable advances in …
