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
