CONCLUSION
- 31% cross over from provisional to 2 stents
- No difference in cumulative 6-months MACE and in binary in-segment restenosis both in the main branch and in the side branch.
- No difference in 6-month stent thrombosis: (1.7% with crush vs 1.1% with prov.-T; p=0.62)
- The lack of FKI is associated to a significant increase in MI, stent thrombosis and angiographic restenosis
