What we have learned from e-Ultimaster registry: LM and non-LM bifurcation
Author: Bernard Chevalier on behalf of Investigators
CONCLUSION
- LM bifurcation patients are older, have more comorbidities and more prior MIs comparing to non-LM bifurcation patients.
- Regarding procedure, radial access was less frequently used in LM bifurcation while imaging was used in ~50% of LM bifurcation patients.
- Two stents technique was more frequently used in LM bifurcation than non-LM bifurcation patients.
- In LM bifurcation patients, true bifurcation patients had numerically higher event rates at 1 year than other LM bifurcation patients
- Ultimaster stent showed good performance in treatment of complex bifurcation lesions in real life practice.
- Patients treated with POT had lower revascularization rate comparing with no POT
- Patients treated with SB ballooning had better outcome than KBI mainly driven by the POT+ subgroup
- Patients treated with simple crossover had less complex lesion whatever the use of POT technique
