Author: Nigel Jepson, MD, Heart Clinic, Sydney, Australia

 

CONCLUSION

  • Shunt stenting with DES is a safe and highly effective method for the treatment of complex bifurcation lesions
  • Strict attention to technical aspects of “Shunting” may improve clinical outcomes with this approach
  • Failure to perform final simultaneous balloon inflation and “over-shunting” was associated with increased risk of SB restenosis
  • “Undershunt” (or crush) was associated with SB subacute stent thrombosis
  • Await the results of the Randomised Re-Wire Trial
