Bifurcation stenting in the setting of AMI : new data
Author: Stephane Noble, MD, University Hospital of Geneva, Switzerland
CONCLUSION
- Very few studies focusing on BF in STEMI
- Prevalence between 11% and 23%
- Predominantly LAD/diag.
- Procedural success rate not significantly different between BF and non BF groups
- Provisional T-stenting was the most common technique used
- Time to rerperfusion similar, but longer procedural time
- DES to treat BF in STEMI seem to be safe
