AIM
To evaluate MACE and TVR occurrence on patients with bifurcation lesion treated with PCI and stenting with Cypher
CONCLUSION
- SES is effective and safe in bifurcation lesions
- Very few late stent thrombosis , despite complex lesion subset
- Single stent use (provisional approach) is associated with a more favourable long term clinical outcome ( 5 yrs ) , as compared to 2-stent stradegy in term of TLR and MACE: simple is better
