Author: Robert J. Gil MD, PhD, Central Clinical Hospital of the Internal Affairs and Administration Ministry, Warsaw, Poland
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
