CONCLUSION

• Simple and fast bifurcation treatment with single dedicated paclitaxel eluting bifurcation stent is feasible and highly successful (100% implantation rate)
• In-stent long term results are very satisfactory
• The initial short length of the device inflate TVR rates, because of missed edge dissections
• Minimalistic strategy for treatment of diseased side branches needs reconsideration
• The long-term results MACEs inflated, because of very risk profile of patient population
