Left Main session: focusing on techniques and late outcome
Impact of bifurcation technique on 2-y outcomes in 773 pts with distal ULM coronary treated with DES
Author: Tullio Palmerini, MD, Istituto di Cardiologia, Policlinico S. Orsola, Bologna, Italy
CONCLUSION
- As compared to double stenting, single stenting of distal ULMCA is associated with a significant reduction of MACE
- The increased hazard of cardiac mortality and MI should warn against a liberal use of double stenting technique
