Up to 20% of patients undergoing left main PCI require a 2-stent technique, and this number should most likely grow after the DKCRUSH-V outcomes. However, this study contradicts the DKCRUSH-V and brings us back to “the simpler the better”, since patients undergoing 1 stent left main PCI presented less revascularization and less target vessel failure...
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. PCI to saphenous vein grafts is one the greatest challenges these days because, as opposed to native arteries, they present important thrombolytic material, diffuse and long lesions, and abundant macrophage and inflammatory cells, which makes the procedure more complex. At present, we have not yet agreed on the best antiplatelet...
Repeat revascularization rate has historically been the weak spot of PCI when compared against CABG: we are still unable to compete with a well done internal mammary artery graft connected to the anterior descending artery. However, repeat revascularization is the soft of end points commonly assessed in trials, and even though several studies have shown...

Left main coronary artery bifurcation interventions have shown very good results at long term, especially with new generation DES. The one-stent strategy has seen better results than the two-stent strategy, according to this registry recently published in J Am Coll Cardiol Intv. However, how does this registry of the daily practice between the years 2002 and...
