BIFURCAT Registry: Long Term Diabetes Impact on Bifurcations PCI Outcomes
The impact of diabetes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are well known, and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), outcomes tend to be less favorable, with higher restenosis rate, repeat myocardial infarction (MI) and stent thrombosis. Despite the development of drug eluting stents, procedures and techniques, treating bifurcation lesions in diabetic patients still show…

Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: MRS or PCI? 10-Year Mortality of the SYNTAX Study
Percutaneous treatment of coronary lesions affecting bifurcations has increased in recent decades. Coronary angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) in these cases is associated with an increased rate of adverse events in patients with multivessel disease and left main coronary artery lesions. The SYNTAX score, which is a predictor of total mortality, is used to evaluate…
10 Years Treating Bifurcations: Have We Made Progress?
Bifurcations have been, are and will be challenging. However, we have to admit we have gained experience and have more tools than pioneer interventionists and many of the early experts who have made history. This study assessed the ten-year trends in coronary bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) looking at patient and lesion characteristics, devices used,…
