Invasive imaging follow-up of BRS in bifurcation lesions – Preliminary short term findings in the BIFSORB pilot trial
Author: Niels Ramsing Holm, MD, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark
CONCLUSION
- The early healing phase improves the ostial SB area in some patients and reduce it in others
- Too conservative (Nordic) SB strategy is likely inferior
- Avoid covering spiculating calcium by BRS predilatation by NC balloon 1:1 – no indentations in 2 projections
- Avoid advancing stiff catheters inside BRS
- Aggressive anti-thrombotic strategy
