PURPOSE
To investigate the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on vessel geometry and the vascular healing after 1-cross over stenting in coronary bifurcation
CONCLUSION
- IVUS guided stenting provided favorable 9-month clinical outcome in DM bifurcation.
- However; sub-clinical vascular healing in our registry raised some concerns regarding “potential adverse reaction” of DM on bifurcation-PCI.
