Double Debulking for LM True Bifurcation Lesion

Author: Yoshihisa Kinoshita, MD, Toyohashi Heart Center, Japan

 

CONCLUSION

  • Although short DAPT theory becomes widespread recently, we have to keep DAPT after stenting at least 3 to 6 months at least.
  • Especially, it is difficult to stop DAPT within 1 month for the patient who have stent in LM bifurcation lesion.
  • However, there are some patients who cannot continue enough DAPT because of their underlying condition.
  • Aggressive debulking without stenting occasionally brings a favorable result for such patients.
