Treatment Of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: Stentcovering Of The Side Branch With And Without PCI Of The Side Branch: A Retrospective Analysis Of All Consecutive Patients

Completed
Conditions
Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
Registration Number
NCT01538186
Lead Sponsor
Krankenhaus Hetzelstift
Brief Summary

This retrospective observational study included patients (pts) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a de novo coronary bifurcation lesion in one German center between January 2008 - August 2011. The investigators included all consecutive patients where the side branch was covered with a stent. Patients with ACS/cardiogenic shock were not excluded.

Two different methods were compared: group A represents patients with a simple strategy without any treatment of the side branch (SB). Group B consisted of patients where the SB was treated (PCI and/or stenting).

For the treatment of bifurcation lesions we used the concept of "provisional stenting", indications for the treatment of the SB were residual stenosis \> 50 %, TIMI flow reduction \< 2. Final-kissing PCI was intended in all patients of group B.

MACE during follow-up was evaluated in all patients.
