CONCLUSION
- TAP is the preferred and easiest to perform technique to implant a stent in the SB after provisional
- True for DES and BRS
- Current BRS may be difficult to pass through MB BRS struts and we currently more often perform TAP with DES in SB
- Sequential deflation of balloons when performing FKBI is essential to maintain optimal final result
