SESSION 4: BRS for Bifurcation Stenting: After Thrombosis Crisis
OCT Observations of long term follow up of BVS two scaffold strategy for bifurcations lesions
Author: DR. ASHOK SETH, CHAIRMAN FORTIS ESCORTS HEART INSTITUTE NEW DELHI, INDIA
CONCLUSION
- Uncaging of SB and restoration of bifurcation anatomy and perhaps physiology is a plausible “ Holy Grail” achievable by BRS
- The ‘ first gen BRS ‘ has done surprisingly well with meticulous understading and application of device specific techniques.
- Next Gen BRS will help overcome many of the limitations and achieve mDES like safety.
- The “Biggest Bang for the Buck “ for BRS more complex lesions ( two stent Bifurcations, long diffuse disease, CTO, ISR etc rather than simple lesions.
