Assessment of side branch pre-dilation prior to a provisional T stent strategy
Author: Manuel Pan, MD, Reina Sofia Hospital, Spain
CONCLUSION
- Predilation of the SB resulted in improved TIMI flow after MB stenting and less indication to subsequently treat the SB.
- If rewiring of the SB is required, predilation did not hinder this maneuver.
- With respect to clinical end points, SB predilation had no effect on major cardiac events.
