Final Kissing Ballooning Returns? The analysis of COBIS II registry

COBIS II FKB Study – CONCLUSION

  • In COBIS II registry, we demonstrated that FKB was associated with a favorable long-term clinical outcome when treated with 1-stent technique, mainly driven by the reduction of TLR in the MV as a result of an increase in MV MLD.
  • FKB may be more important in the bifurcation lesion with a large side branch, probably due to proximal optimization effect of kissing ballooning.
  • The positive impact of FKB may be due to the better stent expansion not only in SB, but also in MV, which may be more important for the long-term clinical outcome.
