Multicenter Clinical Trial on the Impact of Biomechanical Factors on Bifurcation Stent Restenosis and Thrombosis
Author: Yiannis S. Chatzizisis, MD, PhD, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA & Yves Louvard, MD, Institut Cardiovasculaire Paris Sud, Massy, France
OBJECTIVES
- Local biomechanical factors (i.e. low ESS, high wall stress) are implicated in bifurcation stent restenosis and thrombosis
- Biomechanical modeling can improve coronary bifurcation stenting and clinical outcomes
