CONCLUSION

  • The proximal segment of a bifurcation isALWAYS bigger than the distal main vessel segment
  • Proximal optimization :
    • Is very simple to perform
    • May avoid stent inadequate apposition in the proximal segment of a bifurcation
    • Help the distal strut rewiring
    • Allow a good ostial side branch scafolding with the new DES platforms
    • Can be used for all bifurcation lesions treatment
