Abstract
Imaging-guided coronary bifurcation intervention has improved clinical outcomes due to the appropriate size selection of the devices and optimization of the procedure (sufficient stent expansion, reduction of stent malapposition, appropriate stent landing zone, and detection of vessel dissection). In particular, three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D OCT) facilitates clear visualization of stent configuration and guidewire position, which promotes optimal guidewire crossing to the side branch. Successive side branch dilation leads to wide ostial dilation with less strut malapposition. However, the link connection of the stent located on the bifurcated carina has been found to be an impediment to sufficient opening of the side branch, resulting in incomplete strut apposition. In such cases, the aggressive proximal optimization technique improves the jailing strut pattern, and 3D OCT navigates the guidewire crossing to the optimal cell that is most likely to be expanded sufficiently, which is not always a distal cell. In two-stent deployment, 3D OCT facilitates optimal guidewire crossing, which leads to less metallic carina, clustering, and overlapping. The present review describes a method of clear visualization and assessment with 3D OCT and discusses the efficacy of 3D OCT in coronary bifurcation stenting in clinical practice.

Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions, part II: implanting two stents. The 16th expert consensus document of the European Bifurcation Club. EUROINTERVENTION 2022; 18:457-470. [PMID: 35570753 PMCID: PMC11064682 DOI: 10.4244/eij-d-22-00166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) supports a continuous review of the field of coronary artery bifurcation interventions and aims to facilitate a scientific discussion and an exchange of ideas on the management of bifurcation disease. The recent focus of meetings and consensus statements has been on the technical issues in bifurcation stenting, recognising that the final result of a bifurcation procedure and the long-term outcome for our patients are strongly influenced by factors, including preprocedural strategy, stenting technique selection, performance of optimal procedural steps, the ability to identify and correct complications and finally, and most important, the overall performance of the operator. Continuous refinement of bifurcation stenting techniques and the promotion of education and training in bifurcation stenting techniques represent a major clinical need. Accordingly, the consensus from the latest EBC meeting in Brussels, October 2021, was to promote education and training in bifurcation stenting based on the EBC principle. Part II of this 16th EBC consensus document aims to provide a step-by-step overview of the pitfalls and technical troubleshooting during the implantation of the second stent either in the provisional stenting (PS) strategy or in upfront 2-stent techniques (e.g., 2-stent PS pathway and double kissing crush stenting). Finally, a detailed overview and discussion of the numerous modalities available to provide continuous education and technical training in bifurcation stenting techniques are discussed, with consideration of their future application in enhancing training and practice in coronary bifurcation lesion treatment.
