Tips and tricks for stenting of bifurcation coronary lesions.
Although the provisional stenting technique to treat coronary bifurcation lesions is the preferred method, many bifurcation lesions still require a two-stent technique to optimize the result and clinical outcome. This manuscript summarizes the tips and tricks of bifurcation stenting with cases illustrations. As interventionists are encountering more complex and difficult cases, one may find the tips and tricks in this manuscript helpful in daily practice.
