Background:Recrossing the compromised side branch (SB) with a balloon is sometimes technically challenging.The aim of this study was to evaluate whether in-stent anchoring (ISA) is safe and effective to facilitat...
Background:Whether final kissing balloon (FKB) dilatation after one-stent implantation at left-main (LM) bifurcation site remains unclear.Therefore,this large sample and long-term follow-up study comparatively assesse...
Background The double kissing (DK) crush technique is a modified version of the crush technique. It is specifically designed to increase the success rate of the final kissing balloon post-dilatation, but its efficac...
Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with fewer unfavorable events. However, the hemodynamic change in FFR after different stenting approaches for ...
Background Fluid dynamic mechanisms attributed to coronary bifurcation lesions remain a subject of study. The present study aimed at investigating the hemodynamic change of wall shear stress (WSS) in patients with c...
Background The mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of a kissing unsatisfied (KUS) result after classical crush stenting remain unclear. The present study aimed at analyzing the mechanisms and clinical signific...
Standards for treating bifurcation lesions are crucial due to poor outcomes by percutaneous implantation of either bare metal stents or drug-eluting stents, even with several modified double-stent techniques including...
Background Bifurcation angles may have an impact on the clinical outcomes of crush stenting. We sought to compare high (≥60°) with low (〈60°) bifurcation angle in patients who underwent either classical or dou...
Bifurcation lesions are still technically challenging even in the era of modern stents. High incidence of restenosis both in main vessel and side branch limits the long-term prognosis although several kinds of techni...
