Clinical outcomes of single- versus two-stent PCI technique in severely calcified true bifurcation lesions after rotational atherectomy. Clin Res Cardiol 2024; 113:1070-1080.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severely calcified coronary bifurcations complicate percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and often necessitate dedicated lesion preparation. We compared the outcomes of single- versus two-stent techniques for treating heavily calcified true bifurcation lesions following rotational atherectomy (RA). METHODS Among patients receiving RA for severely calcified true bifurcations at a single center, 59 were treated with a single stent, and another 59 received two stents. We analyzed in-hospital adverse outcomes and 1-year rates of the bifurcation-oriented composite endpoint (BOCE), defined as cardiac death, target bifurcation myocardial infarction (TB-MI), or target bifurcation revascularization (TBR). RESULTS The single-stent arm was associated with more in-hospital adverse outcomes (adj. OR, 6.13; 95% CI, 1.34-28.0; p = 0.019), driven by higher peri-procedural MI rates (18.6% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.043) and more side branch compromise (13.6% vs. 0%, p = 0.006). After 1 year, both techniques had comparable 1-year BOCE (adj. HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.12-1.23; p = 0.106). We observed a significant interaction between the treatment technique and the presence of LM bifurcation (p interaction = 0.012), favoring single-stent technique in patients with non-LM bifurcations (HR 0.14, 95% CI 0.03-0.68; p = 0.015). Notably, the single-stent technique had lower rates of TBR (2% vs. 15%, p log-rank = 0.026) after 1 year. CONCLUSION Patients with severely calcified true bifurcation lesions, treated with RA followed by a single stent implantation, had more in-hospital adverse outcomes compared to those treated with two stents. However, the superior outcomes of the two-stent technique did not translate into improved long-term results. In fact, the two-stent technique was even associated with higher rates of revascularization after 1 year.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mini-crush (MC) and T-stenting and small protrusion (TAP) techniques are frequently used, but the long-term comparison of both techniques in patients with complex bifurcation lesions (CBLs) is still a debatable issue. This study sought to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcomes of MC and TAP techniques in patients with CBLs. METHODS A total of 271 patients [male: 202 (78.9%), mean age: 58.90 ± 10.11 years] patients in whom complex bifurcation intervention was performed between 2014 and 2023 were involved. The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACE) as the combination of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven-target lesion revascularization. The Cox proportional hazard models were adjusted by the inverse probability weighting approach to reduce treatment selection bias. RESULTS The initial management strategy was MC in 146 patients and TAP in 125 cases. MACE occurred in 52 patients (19.2%) during a mean follow-up period of 32.43 ± 16 months. The incidence of MACE (13 vs. 26.4%, P = 0.005) and major cardiovascular and cerebral events (15.1 vs. 28.8%, P = 0.006) were significantly lower in the MC group than in the TAP group. Additionally, the incidence of definite or probable stent thrombosis was numerically lower in the MC group compared with the TAP group but did not differ significantly (2.7 vs. 8%, P = 0.059). The long-term MACE was notably higher in the TAP group than the MC group [adjusted hazard ratio (inverse probability weighted): 1.936 (95% confidence interval: 1.053-3.561), P = 0.033]. CONCLUSION In this study involving patients with CBLs, percutaneous coronary intervention with the MC technique had better long-term outcomes than the TAP technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Double kissing (DK)-crush and T-stenting and small protrusion (TAP) techniques are gaining popularity, but the comparison for both techniques is still lacking. This study sought to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcomes of DK-crush and TAP techniques in patients with complex bifurcation lesions. METHODS A total of 255 (male: 205 [80.3%], mean age: 59.56 ± 10.13 years) patients who underwent coronary bifurcation intervention at a single-center between January 2014 and May 2021 were included. Angiographic features, procedure details, and in-hospital or long-term outcomes were assessed. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as the combination of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or clinically driven-target lesion revascularization (TLR). The regression models were adjusted applying by the inverse probability weighted (IPW) approach to reduce treatment selection bias. RESULTS The initial management strategy was DK-crush in 152 (59.6%) patients and TAP in 103 (40.4%) cases. The SYNTAX scores (24.58 ± 7.4 vs. 24.26 ± 6.39, p = 0.846) were similar in both groups. The number of balloon (6.32 ± 1.82 vs. 3.92 ± 1.19, p < 0.001) usage was significantly higher in the DK-crush group than in the TAP group. The rates of TLF (11.8 vs. 22.3%, p = 0.025) and clinically driven TLR (6.6 vs. 15.5%, p = 0.020) were significantly lower in the DK-crush group compared to the TAP group. The long-term TLF was significantly higher in the TAP group compared to the DK-crush group (unadjusted HR: 1.974, [95% CI: 1.044-3.732], p = 0.035 and adjusted HR [IPW]: 2.498 [95% CI: 1.232-5.061], p = 0.011). CONCLUSION The present study showed that the DK-crush technique of bifurcation treatment was associated with lower long-term TLF and TLR rates compared to the TAP technique.

Longitudinal outcomes of final kissing balloon inflation in coronary bifurcation lesions treated with a single stent. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1290024. [PMID: 38099223 PMCID: PMC10720711 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1290024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) is a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technique that is considered mandatory to improve outcomes in two-stent strategies, but its use in single-stent bifurcation PCI remains controversial. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we identified patients with coronary bifurcation lesions treated with one stent from January 2012 to March 2021 at a single academic medical center. Incidence rates per 1,000 patient-years (IR1000) were calculated for the outcomes of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis (ST), target lesion revascularization (TLR), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), and cardiac readmission between patients who received FKBI and those who did not over a median follow up of 2.3 years. Studied outcomes were adjusted for all baseline clinical and procedural characteristics. Results This study included 893 consecutive patients of which 256 received FKBI and 637 did not. The IR1000 for MI were 51.1 and 27.6 for patients who received FKBI and patients who did not, respectively (adjusted HR = 2.44, p = 0.001). The IR1000 for death were 31.2 and 52.3 for patients who received FKBI and patients who did not, respectively (adjusted HR = 0.68, p = 0.141). The incidence rates of ST, TLR, CABG, and cardiac readmissions were similar between patients who received FKBI and those who did not. Conclusions These results suggest that performing FKBI in a one-stent technique was associated with higher rates of myocardial infarction, particularly in the first 6 months, and no difference in death, ST, TLR, CABG, and cardiac readmission rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy still exists regarding the optimal treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions. AIMS We aimed to analyse the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to compare outcomes following different bifurcation stenting techniques. METHODS We systematically searched for RCTs comparing different techniques published up to July 2022. We then conducted a pairwise meta-analysis to compare outcomes between provisional stenting (PS) versus upfront 2-stent techniques. Moreover, we performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare all strategies with each other. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS Twenty-four RCTs (6,890 patients) analysed PS, T-stenting, double-kissing (DK)-crush, crush, or culotte stenting. The pairwise meta-analysis did not reveal a significant difference between the PS and 2-stent techniques. However, the prespecified sensitivity analysis, which included RCTs exclusively enrolling patients with true bifurcation lesions, showed a lower rate of MACE following 2-stent techniques, and meta-regression indicated that a longer side branch lesion was associated with a greater benefit from the 2-stent strategy, which was the most apparent in RCTs with a mean lesion length >11 mm. NMA revealed that DK-crush was associated with the lowest MACE rate (odds ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval: 0.36-0.62; p<0.01; PS as a reference). CONCLUSIONS Overall, 2-stent techniques were not significantly better than PS in terms of clinical outcomes. However, the results of the sensitivity analysis suggested that there might be a benefit of a 2-stent approach in selected patients with true bifurcation lesions, especially in the case of long side branch lesions. An NMA revealed that DK-crush was associated with the lowest event rates when compared with other techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a lack of data regarding the long-term clinical efficacy of the kissing balloon inflation (KBI) after provisional stenting of coronary bifurcation lesions. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of KBI on long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing provisional stenting for the coronary bifurcation lesions in a large real-world population. METHODS A total of 873 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with provisional stenting and had clinical follow up were analyzed. Patients treated with 2-stent strategy were excluded. To reduce the effect of potential confounding factors in this observational study, propensity score matching was conducted. RESULTS KBI was performed in 325 patients (37.2%). The median follow-up duration was 37.3 months. Patients treated with KBI more often had a previous PCI (48.6% vs. 42.5% SMD = 0.123). Patients in non-kissing group had more complex coronary disease with higher prevalence of calcification (14.8% vs. 21.4% SMD = 0.172), thrombosis (2.8% vs. 5.8% SMD = 0.152) and longer side branch lesions (8.3% vs. 11.7% SMD = 0.113). There were no significant differences in the major adverse cardiac events including death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization after KBI versus no KBI (15.4% vs. 15.7%, p = 0.28), in total cohort or in matched patients (17.1% vs. 15.8%, adjusted HR 1.01, 95% CI: 0.65-1.65, p = 0.95). The lack of effect of KBI on clinical outcomes was consistent across various subgroups including left main disease. CONCLUSION In this multicenter real-world registry, KBI did not improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions treated with provisional stenting technique.

CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2023; 54:47-56. [PMID: 37150642 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of drug-coated balloon in the management of true bifurcation lesions appears to be an attractive option to reduce the rate of stent thrombosis and restenosis particularly at the level of the side branch ostium. We aim to assess the safety and the efficacy of a hybrid approach combining a drug-eluting stent in the main branch and a drug-coated balloon to treat the side branch ostium in patients with de novo true bifurcation. METHODS From September 2020 to March 2022, 45 patients with a de novo true bifurcation lesion Medina (1.1.1) or Medina (0.1.1) were enrolled. All patients underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with the hybrid approach. Clinical assessment with functional stress imaging test was scheduled at 6 months. In case of documented ischemia, coronary angiography was performed. The primary endpoint was the composite of target lesion failure at 6 months including cardiac death, target vessel MI or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The secondary endpoints were technical success, defined by performing the percutaneous coronary intervention without an additional drug-eluting stent at the level of the side branch ostium, and clinical success, defined by a technical success associated with the absence of severe complications during in-hospital phase. RESULTS The immediate results show a technical success of the procedure in the majority of cases (88.9 %) with a low rate of bailout side branch stenting (11.1 %). The clinical success was obtained in 86.7 % and only one patient experienced a severe in-hospital complication. A side branch ostial lesion length > 10 mm was the only independent predictor of clinical failure of the procedure (OR 12.49, 95 % CI 1.17-133.6; p = 0.037). At 6 months, the TLF was low and occurred in 1 patient (2.2 %). No cardiac death was observed. No TVMI was observed. Importantly, at 6 months, no side branch thrombosis was observed. CONCLUSION The use of a hybrid approach combining a drug-eluting stent in the main branch and a drug-coated balloon in the side branch to treat true bifurcation lesions appears to be safe and efficient with few immediate complications and with satisfactory results at mid-term follow up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The multicentre European Bifurcation Club Trial (EBC TWO) showed no significant differences in 12-month clinical outcomes between patients randomised to a provisional stenting strategy or systematic culotte stenting in non-left main true bifurcations. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the 5-year clinical results of the EBC TWO Trial. METHODS A total of 200 patients undergoing stent implantation for non-left main bifurcation lesions were recruited into EBC TWO. Inclusion criteria required a side branch diameter ≥2.5 mm and side branch lesion length >5 mm. Five-year follow-up was completed for 197 patients. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularisation. RESULTS The mean side branch stent diameter was 2.7±0.3 mm and mean side branch lesion length was 10.3±7.2 mm. At 5-year follow-up, the primary endpoint occurred in 18.4% of provisional and 23.7% of systematic culotte patients (hazard ratio [HR] 0.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-1.38). No significant differences were identified individually for all-cause mortality (7.8% vs 7.2%, HR 1.11, 95% CI: 0.40-3.05), myocardial infarction (8.7% vs 13.4%, HR 0.64, 95% CI: 0.27-1.50) or target vessel revascularisation (6.8% vs 9.3%, HR 1.12, 95% CI: 0.37-3.34). Stent thrombosis rates were also similar (1.9% vs 3.1%, HR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.11-3.75). There was no significant interaction between the extent of side branch disease and the primary outcome (p=0.34). CONCLUSIONS In large non-left main true bifurcation lesions, the use of a systematic culotte strategy showed no benefit over provisional stenting for the composite outcome of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularisation at 5 years. The stepwise provisional approach may be considered preferable for the majority of true coronary bifurcation lesions. CLINICALTRIALS gov: NCT01560455.

The Degree of Stent Apposition Measured by Stent Enhancement at the Level of the Side Branch as a Novel Predictor of Procedural Success in Left Main PCI. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13050791. [PMID: 37240961 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13050791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent enhancement techniques allow adequate visualization of stent deformation or incomplete stent expansion at the ostium of the side branch. Measuring the stent enhancement side branch length (SESBL) could reflect procedural success in terms of optimal stent expansion and apposition with better long-term outcomes. A longer SESBL may reflect a better stent apposition at the polygon of confluence and at the side branch (SB) ostium. METHODS We evaluated 162 patients receiving the left main (LM) provisional one-stent technique and measured the SESBL, dividing them into two groups: SESBL≤ 2.0 mm and SESBL > 2.0 mm. RESULTS The mean SESBL was 2.0 ± 1.2 mm. More than half of the bifurcations had both main and side branch lesions (Medina 1-1-1) (84 patients, 51.9%) and the length of the SB disease was 5.2 ±1.8 mm. Kissing balloon inflation (KBI) was performed in 49 patients (30.2%). During follow-up (12 months), there was a significantly higher rate of cardiac death in the SESBL ≤ 2.0 mm group (p = 0.02) but no significant difference in all major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (p = 0.7). KBI did not influence the outcomes (p = 0.3). CONCLUSION Suboptimal SESBL is positively correlated with worse outcomes and SB compromise. This novel sign could aid the LM operator to assess the level of stent expansion at the ostium of the SB in the absence of intracoronary imaging.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Unprotected Left Main Disease: A Single-Center Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13071333. [PMID: 37046550 PMCID: PMC10093002 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13071333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Hemodynamically significant unprotected left main (LM) coronary artery disease is a high-risk clinical condition because of the large area of myocardium at risk, and it requires prompt revascularization. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an appropriate alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for revascularization of unprotected LM disease in patients with low-to-intermediate anatomic complexity or when the patient refuses CABG after adequate counseling by the heart team. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 201 patients receiving left main (LM) provisional one-stent or two-stent procedures, and we assessed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing unprotected LM PCI. Results: The mean age was 66.5 ± 9.9 years, and 72% were male. The majority of the subjects presented several cardiovascular risk factors, among which arterial hypertension (179 patients, 89.5%) and dyslipidemia (173 patients, 86.5%) were the most frequent. Out of all patients, 162 (81.8%) underwent revascularization by using the one-stent technique, while the two-stent technique was used in 36 patients (18.2%). The median value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) of the side branch was 0.9 [0.85–0.95], and 135 patients (67.1%) showed a value of FFR > 0.8. One hundred nine patients (54.2%) had a stent enhancement side branch length (SESBL) > 2, with median values of 2.5 mm2 [2.1–3]. Regarding angiographic parameters, the LM area as assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the grade of stenosis as assessed by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) were similar between groups. However, patients who required revascularization by using the two-stent technique presented more frequently with intermediate rather than low SYNTAX scores (69.4% vs. 28.4%, p < 0.0001). Also, the same group required kissing balloon inflation (KBI) more frequently (69.4% vs. 30%, p < 0.001). There were no differences regarding the success of revascularization between the use of the one-stent or two-stent technique. FFR was able to predict a SESBL > 2 mm. The cut-off value for FFR to afford the highest degree of sensitivity (74.5%) and specificity (47%) for a SESBL > 2 was >0.86, indicating a moderate accuracy (AUC = 0.61, 95% CI 0.525–0.690, p = 0.036). Conclusions: Unprotected left main PCI is a safe and effective revascularization option amongst a complex and morbid population. There were no differences regarding the success of revascularization between the use of the one-stent or two-stent technique, and there was no significant impact of KBI on side branch FFR measurements but lower side branch FFR values were correlated with angiographic side branch compromise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary bifurcation stenting constitutes 20% of all PCI performed. Given the extensive prevalence of bifurcation lesions, various techniques have sought to optimally stent the bifurcation to improve revascularization while also decreasing rates of stent thrombosis and lesion recurrence. Advanced techniques, such as planned two-stent approaches, have been shown to have improved outcomes but also require fluoroscopy and procedure time, posing an economic argument as well as a patient-outcome one. OBJECTIVE Because of the many strategies posited in the literature, it becomes essential to objectively evaluate evidence from randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses to help determine the optimal stenting strategy. METHODS We reviewed the clinical evidence on the efficacy of coronary bifurcation stenting. RESULTS In this paper, we review the most recent randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses on the efficacy of various stenting techniques and advances in stenting technologies published to gauge the current state of understanding and chart where the field is heading. CONCLUSION Bifurcation stenting is a maturing problem in the field of interventional cardiology that is adapting to the needs of the patients and advances in technology.

Efficacy and safety of drug-coated balloon combined with cutting balloon for side branch of true coronary bifurcation lesions: Study protocol for a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
BackgroundCoronary bifurcation lesions are common of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and the optimal interventional therapy strategy is still a matter of debate and remains a challenge for interventional cardiologists. The provisional stenting technique is still a preferred method for most bifurcation lesions, but restenosis of the side branch (SB) occurs in approximately 17–19% of cases. Therefore, the dilemma of reducing SB restenosis still exists, and further research on strategies to reduce restenosis for SB is necessary. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) can reduce clinical events in small vessel disease and in-stent restenosis. The efficacy and safety of DCB for SB of true coronary bifurcation lesions have not been fully investigated. A randomized comparison of DCB combined with cutting balloon angioplasty vs. cutting balloon angioplasty for SB has never been published.Methods and designThe purpose of this study is to explore the superiority of DCB combined with cutting balloon vs. cutting balloon angioplasty for SB after main vessel (MV) drug-eluting stent implantation of true coronary bifurcation lesions. This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial including 140 patients with true coronary bifurcation lesions. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to receive either DCB combined with cutting balloon or cutting balloon angioplasty for SB after MV drug-eluting stent implantation. The primary endpoint is the evaluation of late lumen loss (LLL) of SB at the 9-month follow-up. The secondary endpoints include procedural success during initial hospitalization, LLL of MV at the 9-month follow-up, binary angiographic restenosis in MV and SB at the 9-month follow-up, the proportion of patients with a final post-PCI quantitative flow ratio result ≤ 0.80 for SB at the 9-month follow-up, and major adverse cardiac events during the 24-month follow-up.ConclusionsThis clinical trial will provide evidence as to whether DCB combined with cutting balloon for SB of true coronary bifurcation lesions is a superior treatment approach.Trial Registration NumberChiCTR2000040475.DisseminationThe results of this clinical trial will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
When compared to non-bifurcation lesions, percutaneous coronary intervention in coronary bifurcation lesions is technically demanding and has historically been limited by lower procedural success rates and inferior clinical results. Following the development of drug-eluting stents, dramatically better results have been demonstrated. In most of the bifurcation lesions, the provisional technique of implanting a single stent in the main branch (MB) remains the default approach. However, some cases require more complex two-stent techniques which carry the risk of side branch (SB) restenosis. The concept of leaving no permanent implant behind is appealing because of the complexity of bifurcation anatomy with significant size mismatch between proximal and distal MB which may drive rates of in-stent restenosis and the potential impact of MB stenting affecting SB coronary flow dynamics. With the perspective of leaving lower metallic burden, a drug-coated balloon (DCB) has been utilized to treat bifurcations in both the MB and SB. The author gives an overview of the existing state of knowledge and prospects for the future for using DCB to treat bifurcation lesions.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) is still technically demanding, mainly because of higher rates of both acute and chronic complication as compared with non-CBLs. Although provisional stenting (PS) is considered as the preferred strategy for most of the CBLs, a systematic two-stent technique (double kissing [DK] crush) should be considered in patients with complex left main (LM)-CBLs or non-LM-CBLs stratified by the DEFINITION criteria. Intracoronary imaging and/or physiologic evaluation should be used to optimize CBLs intervention. PCI with DES for the treatment of CBLs is technically demanding, mainly because of higher rates of both acute and chronic complication as compared with non-CBLs. PS is a default strategy for most of the CBLs. Double kissing (DK) crush is associated with better clinical outcomes compared with PS in patients with complex LM-CBLs or non-LM-CBLs stratified by the DEFINITION criteria. Intracoronary imaging and/or physiologic evaluation are useful tools to guide the treatment of CBLs. The use of drug-coated balloons in CBLs needs further data to support the clinical benefits.

Abstract
Bifurcation coronary artery disease is common as the development of atherosclerosis is facilitated by altered endothelial shear stress. Multiple anatomical and physiological factors need to be considered when treating bifurcation lesions. To achieve optimal results, various stenting techniques have been developed, each with benefits and limitations. In this state-of-the-art review we describe technically important characteristics of bifurcation lesions and summarise the evidence supporting contemporary bifurcation techniques.

Temporal Trends in Complex Percutaneous Coronary Interventions. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:913588. [PMID: 35811722 PMCID: PMC9263118 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.913588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Accumulated experience combined with technological advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) over the past four decades, has led to a gradual increase in PCI utilization and complexity. We aimed to investigate the temporal trends in PCI complexity and the outcomes of complex PCI (C-PCI) in our institution. Methods We analyzed 20,301 consecutive PCI procedures performed over a 12-year period. C-PCI was defined as a procedure involving at least one of the following: Chronic total occlusion (CTO), left main (LM), bifurcation or saphenous vein graft (SVG) PCI. Four periods of 3-year time intervals were defined (2008–10, 2011–2013, 2014–2016, 2017–2019), and temporal trends in the rate and outcomes of C-PCI within these intervals were studied. Endpoints included mortality and major adverse cardiac events [MACE: death, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization (TVR)] at 1 year. Results A total of 5,647 (27.8%) C-PCI procedures were performed. The rate of C-PCI has risen significantly since 2,017 (31.2%, p < 0.01), driven mainly by bifurcation and LM interventions (p < 0.01). At 1-year, rates of death, acute MI, TVR and MACE, were all significantly higher in the C-PCI group (8.8 vs. 5.1%, 5.6 vs. 4.5%, 5.5 vs. 4.0%, 17.2 vs. 12.2%, p < 0.001 for all, respectively), as compared to the non-complex group. C-PCI preformed in the latter half of the study period (2014–2019) were associated with improved 1-year TVR (4.4% and 4.8% vs. 6.7% and 7.1%, p = 0.01, respectively) and MACE (13.8% and 13.5% vs. 17.3% and 18.2%, p = 0.001, respectively) rates compared to the earlier period (2007–2013). Death rate had not significantly declined with time. Conclusion In the current cohort, we have detected a temporal increase in PCI complexity coupled with improved 1-year clinical outcomes in C-PCI.

Abstract
Background Bifurcation lesions account for 20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions and represent a complex subset which are associated with lower procedural success and higher rates of restenosis. The ideal bifurcation technique, however, remains elusive. Methods and Results Extensive search of the literature was performed to pull data from randomized clinical trials that met predetermined inclusion criteria. Conventional meta-analysis produced pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% CI of 2-stent technique versus provisional stent on prespecified outcomes. Both frequentist and Bayesian network meta-analyses were performed to compare bifurcation techniques. A total of 8318 patients were included from 29 randomized clinical trials. Conventional meta-analysis showed no significant differences in all-cause mortality, cardiac death, major adverse cardiac events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel revascularization between 2-stent techniques and provisional stenting. Frequentist network meta-analysis revealed that double kissing crush was associated with lower cardiac death (RR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38-0.84), major adverse cardiac events (RR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.39-0.64), myocardial infarction (RR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.39-0.90), stent thrombosis (RR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.28-0.88), target lesion revascularization, and target vessel revascularization when compared with provisional stenting. Double kissing crush was also superior to other 2-stent techniques, including T-stent or T and protrusion, dedicated bifurcation stent, and culotte. Conclusions Double kissing crush was associated with lower risk of cardiac death, major adverse cardiac events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, and target vessel revascularization compared with provisional stenting and was superior to other 2-stent techniques. Superiority of 2-stent strategy over provisional stenting was observed in subgroup meta-analysis stratified to side branch lesion length ≥10 mm.

Abstract
There have been mixed results regarding the efficacy and safety of various percutaneous coronary intervention bifurcation techniques. An electronic search of Medline, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was performed for randomized controlled trials that compared the outcomes of any bifurcation techniques. We conducted a pairwise meta-analysis comparing the 1-stent versus 2-stent bifurcation approach, and a network meta-analysis comparing the different bifurcation techniques. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). The analysis included 22 randomized trials with 6,359 patients. At a weighted follow-up of 25.9 months, there was no difference in MACE between 1-stent versus 2-stent approaches (risk ratio [RR] 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.92 to 1.56). Exploratory analysis suggested a higher risk of MACE with a 1-stent approach in studies using second-generation drug-eluting stents, if side branch lesion length ≥10 mm, and when final kissing balloon was used. There was no difference between 1-stent versus 2-stent approaches in all-cause mortality (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.30), cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.68), target vessel revascularization (TVR) (RR 1.22, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.65), myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 1.04, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.56) or stent thrombosis (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.78). Network meta-analysis demonstrated that double kissing crush technique was associated with lower MACE, MI, TVR, and target lesion revascularization, whereas culotte technique was associated with higher rates of stent thrombosis. In this meta-analysis of randomized trials, we found no difference between 1-stent versus 2-stent bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention approaches in the risk of MACE during long-term follow-up. Among the various bifurcation techniques, double kissing crush technique was associated with lower rates of MACE, target lesion revascularization, TVR, and MI.

Effect of Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon Angioplasty on Side Branch Lesion and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with De Novo True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Cardiovasc Drugs Ther 2021; 36:859-866.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effects of paclitaxal-coated balloon (PCB) versus conventional balloon (CB) on side branch (SB) lesion and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions. METHODS In total, 219 patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions were enrolled and divided into PCB group (102 cases) and CB group (117 cases) according to angioplasty strategy in SB. Drug-eluting stent (DES) was implanted in main vessel (MV) for each subject. All subjects underwent a 12-month follow-up for late lumen loss (LLL), restenosis, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MACEs included cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and unstable angina requiring admission. RESULTS There were no differences in diameter, minimum lumen diameter (MLD), and stenosis for bifurcation lesions between the two groups before and immediately after PCI (P > 0.05). After 12-month follow-up, no differences occurred in MV-MLD and MV-LLL between the two groups (P > 0.05); SB-MLD in PCB group was higher than that in CB group (1.97 ± 0.36 mm vs. 1.80 ± 0.43 mm, P = 0.007); SB-LLL in PCB group was lower than that in CB group (0.11 ± 0.18 mm vs. 0.19 ± 0.25 mm, P = 0.024). Multivariate COX analyses indicated that PCB group had lower MACE risk than CB group (HR = 0.480, 95%CI 0.244-0.941, P = 0.033). CONCLUSION PCB could decrease SB-LLL and MACE risk in patients with de novo true coronary bifurcation lesion 12 months after single-DES intervention.

Abstract
Background: No large-scale study has compared the clinical and angiographic predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with left main bifurcation (LMB) and non-LMB stenting after second-generation DES implantation. Herein, we investigated differential clinical and angiographic factors for predicting outcomes in LMB versus non-LMB stenting. Methods: A total of 2648 patients with bifurcation lesions treated with second-generation DESs from the retrospective patient cohort were divided into an LMB group (n = 935) and a non-LMB group (n = 1713). The primary outcome was the 7-year incidence of target lesion failure (TLF), defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization. Results: The incidence of TLF was 9.8%. Those in the LMB group were associated with a higher risk of TLF (14.2% versus 7.5%, p < 0.001) than those in the non-LMB group. Regarding the LMB group, independent predictors of TLF were chronic kidney disease (CKD), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and two-stenting. Regarding the non-LMB group, CKD, reduced LVEF, old age, diabetes, and small diameter of the main vessel stent were independent predictors of TLF. Conclusions: The two-stent strategy could potentially increase TLF for the LMB lesions, and achieving the maximal diameter of the main vessel stent could result in better clinical outcomes for non-LMB lesions.

Abstract
The coronary bifurcation intervention varies among countries due to the differences in assessment of lesion severity and treatment devices. We sought to clarify the difference in basic strategy between South Korea and Japan. A total of 19 and 32 experts from Korean (KBC) and Japanese Bifurcation Clubs (JBC), respectively, answered a survey questionnaire concerning their usual procedure of coronary bifurcation intervention. JBC experts performed less two-stent deployment in the left main (LM) bifurcation compared to KBC experts (JBC vs. KBC: median, 1–10% vs. 21–30%, p < 0.0001) instead of higher performance of side branch dilation after cross-over stenting in both LM (60% vs. 21%, p = 0.001) and non-LM bifurcations (30% vs. 5%, p = 0.037). KBC experts more frequently performed proximal optimization technique (POT) in non-LM bifurcation (41–60% vs. 81–99%, p = 0.028) and re-POT in both LM (1–20% vs. 81–99%, p = 0.017) and non-LM bifurcations (1–20% vs. 81–99%, p = 0.0003). JBC experts more frequently performed imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention, whereas KBC experts more often used a pressure wire to assess side branch ischemia. JBC experts used a rotablator more aggressively under the guidance of optical coherence tomography. We clarified the difference in the basic strategy of coronary bifurcation intervention between South Korea and Japan for better understanding the trend in each country.

Abstract
Interventions on bifurcation lesions of the coronary bed are one of the most complicated tasks of interventional cardiology. Recent trends are toward active study of using drug-eluting balloons for interventions in this type of lesions. Using such technique makes it possible to minimize the risks associated with implantation of stents in sites of coronary artery bifurcations with good angiographic results. This article is a review of the literature data concerning the use of drug-coated balloons in interventions on bifurcation lesions of the coronary bed, discussing peculiarities of the balloon catheter design, dynamics of delivery of an antiproliferative drug to the vascular wall. This is followed by considering the experience with using innovative sirolimus-coated balloon catheters, as well as future perspectives of these devices for interventions in coronary artery bifurcation lesions.
