Author: Flavio Airoldi, MD, Centro Cuore Columbus, Milan, Italy
LESSONS FROM THE ARTS II
- Angiographic success on the SB 51% with final patency of 93%
- 28% of the SB with no stenosis at baseline had a significant stenosis at the end of the procedure
-
Most bifurcations need the SB to stay open at the end of the procedure, residual stenosis appears to have low clinical relevance.
