CONCLUSION
- The proximal segment of a bifurcation is ALWAYS bigger than the distal main vessel segment
- Proximal optimization : very simple
- May avoid inadequate stent apposition in the proximal segment of a bifurcation
- Avoid « under stent » rewiring
- Help to distal strut rewiring
- Allow a good ostial side branch scafolding with the new DES platforms
