European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain TIPS AND TRICKS IN BIFURCATION PCI - THE SYNERGY BETWEEN EBC AND ASIA Use of DES and DCB in LM Bifuration Lesion Author: Zhanying Han, MD, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, China BACKGROUND Although several stenting techniques are available for the treatment of de novo coronary bifurcation lesions. The treatment of coronary artery bifurcation still represents a challenge for interventional cardiologist. over the past years, different studies have proposed and analysed the use of drug-coated balloon (DCB) in the treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions as an alternative treatment. CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS Zhang Q Female 76years Paroxysmal chest tightness for 10 years Agravated for 20 days Risk factor: Diabetes 1 year, Angiitis 30 years TAKE HOME MESSAGES For calcified LM bifurcation lesion, intravascular imaging is strongly recommended to help to determine the PCI strategy. Rotablation is effective to modify the calcified plaque in both MV and SB bifurcation lesion DCB may supply an alternative treatment for bifurcation lesions, thus maybe decrease the stent numbers , thrombosis and restenosis risk of side branch.
