Balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with single stent for side branch protection – Preliminary results from an Indian population

摘要

Intervention for bifurcation lesions is associated with increased risk of adverse events and includes acute side branch (SB) occlusion during main branch (MB) stenting. This acute occlusion of side branch can often be catastrophic for the patient. We here in describe our experience in Indian population with a technique which can be incorporated into bifurcation stenting to reduce or almost eliminate the incidence of side branch occlusion.
