3 PCI in Coronary Bifurcations Bifurcations occur in 20-25% of PCI cases True bifurcations represent ~60% Main technical concerns include: Plaque-shifting which may result in loss of the side-branch Dissection necessitating placement of second stent in sidebranch Inadequate stent expansion at ostium of side-branch (crush technique) Side-branch loss may occur in 15% of true bifurcations Stent thrombosis & restenosis is higher in bifurcations lesions Dedicated bifurcation stents not yet proven No two bifurcations are identical

4 The Bifurcation Issue Bifurcation is an heterogeneous lesion Variable vessels (branches) size Variable extent of side branch disease Variable morphology Variable angulation Variable plaque distribution Variable functional values (FFR) for same angiographic stenosis

12 Why Protect SB s from Closure? Occlusion of SB s >1mm associated with 14% incidence of Myocardial Infarction Arora RR et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn 1989;18: SB closure associated with large periprocedural MI Chaudhry EC et al. J Thromb Thrombolysis 2007.

13 Why Wire Both Branches? Protects SB from closure due to plaque shift and/or stent struts during MB stenting Jailed SB wire facilitates re-wiring of the SB: By acting as a marker for the SB ostium if SB occludes Changing the angle of SB take-off (often widening the angle between the MB and SB) In the Tulipe multicenter study, absence of this jailed wire was associated with a higher rate of reinterventions (OR:4.26; ) during follow-up CAUTION WHEN REMOVING JAILED WIRES!

22 The Approach to Bifurcation PCI The provisional approach of implanting one stent technique on the MB should be the default approach in most bifurcations lesions The approach is dictated by the SB: True vs. Non-true Size of SB Extent and distribution of disease in SB How important the side branch is for that patient and for that specific anatomy

23

25 The final angio should not look worse than the baseline: keep the side branch open

54 T Stenting and Angle Shallow Distal (B) angle has potential for gaps in support and drug application T with protrusion overcomes gaps but has struts protruding into the main branch At angles close to 90 degrees there is greatest potential for gap-free T stenting Gaps can also be due to distal SB stent placement Ormiston

55 The T-stenting with Protrusion Technique (TAP) as a Cross-over from the Provisional Approach Step 3: Position stent in SB ensuring coverage of ostium with minimal protrusion into MB and place noncompliant balloon in MB stent Step 4: Inflate the delivery balloon in the SB and the MB balloon simultaneously Final Result:

56 Crush Stenting B 3: Deploy the SB stent 4: Check for optimal result in the SB and then remove balloon and wire from SB. Deploy the MB stent

57 Crush Stenting C 5: Rewire the SB and perform high pressure dilatation 6: Perform kissing balloon inflation

58 Reverse (internal) Crush Stenting B 3: Rewire side branch and advance a balloon and dilate toward SB EVALUATE RESULT: if the result is not acceptable then 4: Position a stent in the SB with minimal protrusion in the MB. Leave a balloon in the MB

59 Reverse Crush Stenting D 7: Rewire the SB and perform high pressure dilatation 8: Perform final kissing balloon inflation

60 V Stenting B 3: Deploy one stent 4: Deploy the second stent Some operators deploy the two stents simultaneously

118 The T-stenting with Protrusion Technique (TAP) as a Cross-over from the Provisional Approach Step 1: Wire both branches and predilate the main and the side branch as required. Stent the MB jailing the SB wire Step 2: If the result in SB unsatisfactory due to plaque shift or dissection and SB has to be stented, then re-cross into the SB through the MB stent struts

119 Crush Stenting A 1: Wire both branches and predilate if needed 2 : Advance the 2 stents. MB stent positioned proximally. The SB stent will protrude only minimally into MB

120 Reverse Crush Stenting C 5: Deploy the stent in the SB and remove the wire and the balloon 6: Crush the short protruding part of SB stent over the stent in MB by inflating the MB balloon
