Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 08/24/09
Gil RJ et al. – Smaller carina angle with straightening of MV—main branch from stent implantation in coronary bifurcations predicted higher SB compromise, restenosis, and MACE rates during follow–up of 1 year.
Dobrin Vassilev, 08/24/09
| This is the first study demonstrating the role of some geometric factors of bifucation region (parent vessel - side branch angle, branch vessels diameter ratio, plaque length in larger branch) not only immediately after the procedure, but also in long term. The clear cut-off values for MACE occurence were identified, giving possibilty for prediction model building. |
