Provisional T stenting in the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions with the new generation of paclitaxel eluting stents: Pilot phase results of the Liberty One Study
Author: Philippe BRUNEL, NANTES FRANCE
CONCLUSION
- Provisional T stenting in the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions with the new generation of paclitaxel eluting stents (one stent in 88.4% of CBL) provided sustained benefit at 8-month follow-up.
- The stent thrombosis rate of 0.9% and the TLR rate of 6.6% were particularly low for this complex lesion subset.
- Results of the Liberty One study pilot phase are very promising, therefore leading to perform larger controled studies.
