What are the limitations of Provisional SB stenting for distal LM lesions?

Author: T. Lefèvre, ICPS, France

 

CONCLUSION

  • Like for all bifurcation lesions, a provisional SB stenting approach can be used for LM stenting in the majority of cases.
  • The specific technical problems can be solved by a systematic use of 2 or 3 wires, proper stent selection and positioning and liberal use of the POT technique.
  • Because of the T-shape angulation, T or TAP technique should be used in the majority of cases.
