One Stent Bifurcation Techniques and Possible Bail Out Solutions Using Multimodality Imaging – Introduction

European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain MEDTRONIC SYMPOSIUM  - One stent bifurcation techniques and possible bail out solutions using multimodality imaging Introduction Author: Goran Stankovic, MD, Clinical Center of Serbia, Serbia BIFURCATION EDUCATION IS NEEDED Collaboration between EBC, Visible Heart Lab (VHL) and Medtronic initiated by EBC at 2012 meeting; There is a need to create: – Educational program for fellows and young IC’s, aimed to help understanding bifurcation treatment techniques, complications and outcomes; The idea: – A series of case scenarios, where trainee can learn step-by-step performance of different bifurcation stenting techniques and based on a combination of imaging technologies and computer simulation.

Outcome After One Stent Technique in Bifurcation

European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain NEWS 2 Outcome After One Stent Technique in Bifurcation: SB Strut Opening VS. Leave Alone Author: Chang-Wook Nam, MD, PhD, Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital, Korea PURPOSE OF THE CURRENT STUDY The aim of the current study is to evaluate the long-term clinical outcome according to SB opening procedure of bifurcation lesion after 1-stent crossover technique from COBIS 3 registry. LIMITATIONS Not free from selection bias as an observational study. Additional imaging study may have provided more information on the plaque progression The number of patients and events was too small to properly adjust for an adequate statistical power. The duration of a dual antiplatelet therapy for these higher- risk patients is still controversial SUMMARY There is the improvement of acute angiographic result in SB opening after simple crossover stenting. However, SB opening after simple crossover stenting did not show improvement in long-term clinical outcome compared to leave alone after simple crossover stenting. In addition, in both left main and true bifurcation, the simple crossover wit h additional SB opening did not showed a better long-term clinical outcome. Therefore, routine KBT after simple crossover may not be recommended. Provisional approach with FFR guidance will help to select the patients who need additional complex bifurcation procedure.
