Double Kissing Mini-Culotte Stenting in Unprotected Distal Left Main Bifurcation Under Optical Coherence Tomography Guidance: Immediate and Short-Term Outcomes. Am J Cardiol 2024; 229:47-55. [PMID: 39173990 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2024.08.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 08/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
Culotte stenting is an effective strategy for left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions. Increased side branch ostial restenosis is the main drawback of culotte stenting. This is due to a napkin ring or potential gap produced at the ostium of the side branch. A bench study by Toth et al11 has shown that additional sequential kissing balloon dilation before main vessel stenting can prevent this deformity. We report immediate and short-term results of double kissing (DK) mini-culotte stenting with a 1-year angiographic follow-up. Between March 2020 and December 2022, 45 patients with distal left main (LM) disease underwent DK mini-culotte stenting at our center under optical coherence tomography guidance. Of 45 patients (male: 35 (77.77%); mean age: 63.67 ± 4.94 years), chronic coronary artery syndrome was present in 26 (57.8%) and unstable angina in the remainder. All lesions were Medina (1,1,1), (0,1,1), or (1,0,1), with a median Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score of 28 (interquartile range 23 to 29). All procedures were technically successful with no adverse clinical events (death, myocardial infarction, or stent thrombosis). Under optical coherence tomography guidance, adequate minimal stent area of 13.28 ± 0.77 mm2, 8.25 ± 0.29 mm2, and 7.54 ± 0.45 mm2 was achieved in LM, left anterior descending, and left circumflex, respectively. Adequate stent expansion of >80% was achieved in all cases. At the end of 1 year, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events was 2.2%. Furthermore, restenosis of the side branch developed in 1 patient (2.2%), which was managed conservatively. DK mini-culotte stenting in the distal LM bifurcation has shown promising results and is effective in preventing side branch stent deformation and its sequelae of in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, admitted for effort-induced angina. Coronary angiography revealed two-vessel disease with severe stenosis of the LAD- Diagonal bifurcation (MEDINA 1-1-1). This lesion was considered complex regarding the severe stenosis of the bifurcation core, the angulation <45°, and the severity and length of the diagonal lesion. The procedure was planned according to a TAP technique. The flow in the diagonal was however lost after stenting the main vessel causing an ST elevation with chest pain. It was subsequently recovered using the rescue jailed balloon technique before re-crossing the stent struts of the LAD using a Gaia First® (Asahi) guidewire. The aim of this case report is to illustrate some pitfalls that can be encountered in bifurcation percutaneous interventions and to present technical solutions to solve difficult side branch access issues through a literature review.

Abstract
The 2023 European Bifurcation Club (EBC) meeting took place in Warsaw in October, and the latest evidence for the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to optimise percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) was a major focus. The topic generated deep discussions and general appraisal on the potential benefits of IVUS and OCT in PCI procedures. Nevertheless, despite an increasing recognition of IVUS and OCT capabilities and their recognised central role for guidance in complex CBL and left main PCI, it is expected that angiography will continue to be the primary guidance modality for CBL PCI, principally due to educational and economic barriers. Mindful of the restricted access/adoption of intracoronary imaging for CBL PCI, the EBC board decided to review and describe a series of tips and tricks which can help to optimise angiography-guided PCI for CBLs. The identified key points for achieving an optimal angiography-guided PCI include a thorough analysis of pre-PCI images (computed tomography angiography, multiple angiographic views, quantitative coronary angiography vessel estimation), a systematic application of the technical steps suggested for a given selected technique, an intraprocedural or post-PCI use of stent enhancement and a low threshold for bailout use of intravascular imaging.

Jailed Balloon Technique Versus Jailed Wire Technique for Side Branch Ostium Protection in Bifurcation Lesions: Evidence from Three-dimensional Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2024; 25:300. [PMID: 39228485 PMCID: PMC11366982 DOI: 10.31083/j.rcm2508300] [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: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is controversy regarding the effectiveness the of jailed wire technique (JWT) and jailed balloon technique (JBT) in preserving the side branch (SB) during treatment. This study compares the protective effect of JBT versus JWT on the SB ostium area in coronary bifurcation lesions using three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT). Methods We obtained data from coronary heart disease patients who received OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcation lesions. The SB protection strategies were divided into JWT and JBT, with the latter further subdivided into active JBT (A-JBT) and conventional JBT (C-JBT). The primary endpoint was the SB ostium area difference measured by 3D-OCT before and after PCI. Partial correlation analysis and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to mitigate confounding biases. Results A total of 207 bifurcation lesions from 191 patients were analyzed, including 136 lesions treated with JWT and 71 lesions treated with JBT. The SB ostium area was significantly greater in the JBT group compared to the JWT group (0.41 ± 1.22 mm2 vs. -0.25 ± 1.40 mm2, p = 0.001). Following 1:1 PSM to adjust for 60 pairs, the difference between groups was not statistically significant (0.28 ± 1.06 mm2 vs. -0.02 ± 1.29 mm2, p = 0.165). Subgroup analysis revealed that A-JBT provided superior protection in both true (0.47 ± 1.22 mm2 vs. -0.10 ± 1.10 mm2, p = 0.011) and non-true bifurcation lesions (0.56 ± 1.43 mm2 vs. -0.38 ± 1.62 mm2, p = 0.030) over JWT, while C-JBT provided protection similar to JWT. A positive partial correlation was observed between the diameter of the jailed balloon and the increase in SB ostium area (r = 0.296, p = 0.013). Conclusions Overall, A-JBT, but not C-JBT, provided better protection in bifurcation lesions compared to JWT. The larger diameter of the jailed balloon, rather than the application of higher pressure, enhanced the SB protection.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements, challenges persist in determining the optimal stenting strategy for LM bifurcation disease. Hence, this systematic review aims to compare single provisional and systematic dual stenting for managing LM bifurcation disease. A systematic search was performed until January 14, 2024. For the effect measure, risk ratios (RRs) was calculated. This study included 22 studies with 10776 participants. The all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality revealed comparable outcomes between provisional and dual-systematic stenting (RR 1.13, CI95 %: 0.87-1.47, p 0.36, I2 59 %; RR 1.16, CI95 %: 0.73-1.84, p 0.63, I2 80 %). In addition, MACE, MI, TLR, TVR, and in stent thrombosis also showed similar findings. Subgroup analysis revealed that cohort studies was the source of heterogeneity in all-cause mortality, stent thrombosis, and TLR. This meta-analysis suggests comparable outcomes between provisional and dual-systematic stenting in managing LM bifurcation disease. Further study is needed to validate the outcomes of novel techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary bifurcation lesions are associated with less favourable outcome as compared to other lesion subsets. The role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for bifurcation lesions has been only investigated in small studies so far, which reported encouraging results. We here describe the results of EASTBOURNE-BIF prospective registry, in which a sirolimus-DCB was used for the treatment of bifurcation lesions. METHODS Overall, 194 patients with bifurcations lesions identified in the EASTBOURNE study (Medina 1.1.1/1.1.0/1.0.1/0.1.1/0.1.0) were compared with 1049 patients with de-novo lesions from the same registry. Both a blended-strategy using a drug-eluting stent in the main branch and a DCB in the side branch as well as a full-DCB approach were used in the treatment of bifurcation lesions. RESULTS At one year of follow-up the study primary endpoint, target-lesion revascularization occurred at a similar rate in the bifurcation group versus the de-novo group (4.2 vs. 2%, P=0.28). Similar outcomes were observed in terms of all-cause death (3.3 vs. 1.4%, P=0.138), major adverse cardiovascular events (8.8 vs. 5.2%, P=0.081) and the rate of spontaneous myocardial infarction (2.8 vs. 1.0%, P=0.117). CONCLUSIONS The results of EASTBOURNE-BIF study show how the use of this DCB alone or in combination with drug eluting stents could represent a safe and effective alternative to stents for the treatment of bifurcations.

Abstract
Background In complex bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention, 2-stent strategies are often required. Commonly used 2-stent techniques can lead to suboptimal results due to their complexity. We developed the balloon-assisted double-kissing T-stenting (DKT) technique, which uses balloons to optimize stent placement, delivery, and final architecture. Methods With the balloon-assisted DKT technique, a balloon is inflated into the main branch (MB) to identify the best position of the side-branch (SB) stent instead of relying on angiography. DKT aims at supporting the SB ostium with stent crowns instead of distorted open cell(s), by achieving a longitudinal deformation with minimal crush of the SB stent upon implantation of the MB stent. This hypothesis was tested on a bench model. We report how the technique was performed in 2 cases and provide intracoronary imaging of the results. Results As hypothesized, DKT resulted in a longitudinal accordion-like deformation and minimal crush effect on bench. The SB ostium was supported by stent crowns. The SB wall opposed to the carina was well covered with crowns from the MB stent after proximal optimization technique and final kissing. The technique was successfully used in 2 complex left main cases with perfect coverage of the SB ostium as assessed with intracoronary imaging. Conclusions The balloon-assisted DKT is a simple technique that combines strengths of double-kissing crush and culotte techniques, results in appropriate SB ostium coverage, and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unintended deformation of implanted coronary stents can lead to loss of coronary access, stent thrombosis and coronary events during follow-up. The incidence, mechanisms and clinical outcomes of unintended stent deformations (USD) during complex bifurcation stenting are not well characterized. OBJECTIVES In a prespecified analysis of the OCTOBER (European Trial on Optical Coherence Tomography Optimized Bifurcation Event Reduction) trial, we aimed to: 1) determine the incidence and characterize mechanisms of USD identified by optical coherence tomography (OCT); and 2) evaluate physician's detection and correction of accidental abluminal rewiring and USD. METHODS OCT scans were analyzed for accidental abluminal rewiring and USD. When USD was identified, the plausible mechanism was determined by analysis of all procedural OCT scans and the corresponding angiograms. RESULTS USD was identified by the core lab in 9.3% (55/589) of OCT-guided cases. Accidental abluminal rewiring was the cause in 44% (24/55), and guide catheter collision was the cause in 40% (22/55) of cases. USD was found in 18.5% of all cases with left main bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention. The total incidence of abluminal rewiring was 33 in 32 OCT-guided cases (5.4%) and was corrected by physicians in 18 of 33 appearances (54.5%). The 2-year major adverse cardiac event rate for patients with untreated USD (n = 30) was 23.3%, whereas patients with confirmed or possibly corrected USD (n = 25) had no events during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS USD was associated with adverse procedural complications and cardiac events during follow-up when not identified and corrected. The predominant mechanisms were undetected abluminal rewiring and guide catheter collision. Left main bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention was a particular risk with USD detected in 18.5% of cases.

The Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label, Controlled POLBOS 3 Trial Comparing Regular Drug-Eluting Stents and the Sirolimus-Eluting BiOSS LIM C Dedicated Coronary Bifurcation Stent: Four-Year Results. Biomedicines 2024; 12:938. [PMID: 38790900 PMCID: PMC11118130 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12050938] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
This multicenter, randomized study aimed to compare the sirolimus-eluting BiOSS LIM C dedicated coronary bifurcation stent with second-generation -limus drug-eluting stents (rDESs) in the treatment of non-left main (non-LM) coronary bifurcation. The deployment of a single stent in the main vessel-main branch across a side branch was the default strategy in all patients. The primary endpoint was the rate of major cardiovascular events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) at 48 months. We enrolled 230 patients, allocating 116 patients to the BiOSS LIM C group and 114 patients to the rDES group. Most procedures were elective (BiOSS vs. rDES: 48.3% vs. 59.6%, p = 0.09) and performed in bifurcations within the left anterior descending/diagonal branch (BiOSS vs. rDES: 51.7% vs. 61.4%, p = 0.15). At 48 months, there were no statistically significant differences between the BiOSS and rDES groups in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR) as follows: MACEs-18.1% vs. 14.9%, HR 1.36, 95% CI 0.62-2.22, and p = 0.33; cardiac death-4.3% vs. 3.5%, HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.33-4.56, and p = 0.75; MI-2.6% vs. 3.5%, HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.17-3.23, and p = 0.68; and TLR-11.2% vs. 7.9%, HR 1.66, 95% CI 0.75-3.71, and p = 0.21. The implantation success rate of the BiOSS LIM C stent was very high, and the cumulative MACE rates were promising. The POLBOS 3 trial sets an important benchmark for treating non-LM coronary bifurcations (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03548272).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the mean resident time (RT) after left main (LM) bifurcation stenting are scant. In the present study we performed a patient-specific computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis to investigate the different post-stenting mean RT values in LM patients treated with single-or double stenting techniques. METHODS Patients were identified after reviewing the local Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans database. Overall, 27 patients (mean age 65.5 ± 12.4, 21 males) [10 patients treated with provisional cross-over stenting, 7 with the double kissing crush (DK crush) and 10 with the nano-inverted T (NIT) technique, respectively] with isolated and significant LM bifurcation disease were analyzed. RESULTS After LM bifurcation stenting, the NIT showed a higher averages WSS values at all bifurcation sites compared to DK crush and provisional cross-over stenting. Moreover, the mean RT resulted lower after NIT compared to provisional or DK crush. During the diastolic phase, the average RT of the entire LM bifurcation was 0.46 s, 0.38 s and 0.33 s after using the provisional stenting, DK crush and NIT, respectively. Moreover, the average RT in the LM bifurcation decreased by 17.1 % using the DK crush and by 28.2 % using the NIT compared to the Provisional. CONCLUSION The present OCT-derived CFD analysis revealed that, in patients with complex bifurcation LM disease, the provisional approach resulted in lower WSS values, while double stenting techniques, especially the NIT technique, resulted in a marked reduction of average RT compared to the provisional approach. CONDENSED ABSTRACT In the present study we performed a patient-specific Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis to investigate the different post-stenting mean RT values in 27 patients treated with provisional cross-over stenting, DK crush and Nano-inverted-T (NIT) stenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefits of transradial access (TRA) over transfemoral access (TFA) for bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are uncertain because of the limited availability of device selection. This study aimed to compare the procedural differences and the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of TRA and TFA for bifurcation PCI using second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs). METHODS Based on data from the Coronary Bifurcation Stenting Registry III, a retrospective registry of 2,648 patients undergoing bifurcation PCI with second-generation DES from 21 centers in South Korea, patients were categorized into the TRA group (n = 1,507) or the TFA group (n = 1,141). After propensity score matching (PSM), procedural differences, in-hospital outcomes, and device-oriented composite outcomes (DOCOs; a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) were compared between the two groups (772 matched patients each group). RESULTS Despite well-balanced baseline clinical and lesion characteristics after PSM, the use of the two-stent strategy (14.2% vs. 23.7%, P = 0.001) and the incidence of in-hospital adverse outcomes, primarily driven by access site complications (2.2% vs. 4.4%, P = 0.015), were significantly lower in the TRA group than in the TFA group. At the 5-year follow-up, the incidence of DOCOs was similar between the groups (6.3% vs. 7.1%, P = 0.639). CONCLUSION The findings suggested that TRA may be safer than TFA for bifurcation PCI using second-generation DESs. Despite differences in treatment strategy, TRA was associated with similar long-term clinical outcomes as those of TFA. Therefore, TRA might be the preferred access for bifurcation PCI using second-generation DES. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03068494.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the development of dedicated, two-stent strategies, including the double kissing (DK) crush technique, the ideal technique for coronary artery bifurcation stenting has not been identified. We aimed to compare and determine the absolute risk difference (ARD) of the DK crush technique alone versus provisional stenting approaches for coronary bifurcation lesions, using the Bayesian technique. METHOD We queried PubMed/MEDLINE to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared DK crush technique with provisional stenting for bifurcation lesions, published till January 2023. We used Bayesian methods to calculate the ARD and 95% credible interval (CrI). RESULTS We included three RCTs, with 916 patients, in the final analysis. The ARD of cardiac death was centered at -0.01 (95% CrI: -0.04 to 0.02; Tau: 0.02, 85% probability of ARD of DK crush vs. provisional stenting <0). ARD for myocardial infarction was centered at -0.03 (95%CrI: -0.9 to 0.03; Tau: 0.05, 87% probability of ARD of DK crush vs. provisional stenting <0). ARD for stent thrombosis was centered at 0.00 (95% CrI: -0.04 to 0.03, Tau: 0.03, 51% probability of ARD for DK crush vs. provisional stenting <0). Finally, ARD for target lesion revascularization was centered at -0.05 (95% CrI: -0.08 to -0.03, Tau: 0.02, 99.97% probability of ARD for DK crush vs. provisional stenting <0). CONCLUSIONS Bayesian analysis demonstrated a lower probability of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization, with DK crush compared with provisional stenting techniques, and a minimal probability of difference in stent thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Re-POT (proximal optimization technique (POT)) is a simple provisional sequential technique for percutaneous coronary bifurcation revascularization with better arterial geometry respect compared to classical techniques. Re-POT has demonstrated excellent mechanical and short-term clinical results. The multicenter CABRIOLET registry (NCT03550196) evaluate the long-term clinical benefit of the re-POT sequence in non-selected patients. METHODS All consecutive patients presenting a coronary bifurcation lesion for which provisional stenting was indicated were included in 5 european centers. Re-POT strategy was systematically attempted. The primary endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF), comprising cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months' follow-up. The secondary endpoints were the individual components of the primary endpoint, all-cause death, target vessel failure (TVF) and target vessel revascularization (TVR). Complex bifurcation was defined as Medina 0.1.1 or 1.1.1. RESULTS A total of 500 patients aged 67.7 ± 11.7 years, 78.4% male, were included from 2015 to 2019, 174 of whom (34.8%) were considered having complex bifurcation lesions. Bifurcations involved the left main in 35.2% of cases. The full re-POT sequence was systematically performed in all cases. At 1 year, TLF was 2.0% (1.7% in complex vs. 2.1% in non-complex bifurcation; p = NS), and TLR was 1.6%, (1.1% vs. 1.8% respectively; p = NS). TVF and TVR rates were 3.2% and 2.8%. On multivariate analysis, only multivessel disease was predictive of TLF at 1 year (OR = 1.66 (1.09-2.53), p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS In this large prospective all-comer registry, provisional stenting with re-POT technique appeared safe and effective at 1 year, without anatomical bifurcation restriction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of bifurcation lesions is technically challenging and associated with higher rates of complications such as stent thrombosis or in-stent restenosis. In this paper, we present the clinical outcomes of BiOSS LIM C (Balton, Poland), a dedicated bifurcation stent. METHODS In this retrospective single-center study we analyzed the outcome of patients with bifurcation coronary artery disease treated with the BiOSS LIM C stent system. The primary endpoint was the cumulative rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularisation (TLR) at the longest available follow-up. RESULTS The study population consisted of 25 patients (mean age 73.6 ± 9.7 years, 25 % females). In 80 % of the cases (n = 20) BiOSS LIM C stent was implanted in the left main coronary artery. Intravascular imaging was used in 70 % of the cases and an additional regular drug-eluting stent (DES) was deployed in the side branch in 24 % of the cases. The device success rate was 100 % and we observed no in-hospital adverse events. At a median follow-up of 15 ± 6 months, the MACE rate was 56 %, cardiac death was 4 %, and clinically driven TLR was 55 %. One patient died in the LM subgroup, 5 months after the index PCI, due to NSTEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock. Two patients died due to non-cardiac causes. CONCLUSIONS In this consecutive series of patients treated with BiOSS LIM C in major coronary bifurcation lesions, mostly in the left main stem, the mid-term clinical outcomes demonstrated a high incidence of major adverse events, mainly caused by TLR, despite an adequate implantation technique.

Abstract
Despite a decade of extensive research and clinical insights, percutaneous coronary intervention strategies for coronary bifurcation lesions have remained a challenging and highly debated area. This article presents a review of the latest findings and advances in defining and classifying coronary bifurcation lesions, in vitro studies, intracoronary imaging, stenting strategies, and the deployment of drug-coated balloons. Based on current evidence, this review provides recommendations for interventional cardiologists to develop individualized interventional strategies and enhance the efficiency of stenting procedures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) involving bifurcation lesions are a challenging lesion subset that is understudied in the literature. This study analyzed the incidence, procedural strategy, in-hospital outcomes and complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for bifurcation-CTO (BIF-CTO). METHODS We assessed data from 607 consecutive CTO patients treated at the Institut Cardiovasculaire Paris Sud (ICPS), Massy, France between January 2015 and February 2020. Procedural strategy, in-hospital outcomes and complication rates were compared between 2 patient subgroups: BIF-CTO (n=245=and non-BIF-CTO (n=362). RESULTS The mean patient age was 63.2±10.6 years; 79.6% were men. Bifurcation lesions were involved in 40.4% of the procedures. Overall lesion complexity was high (mean J-CTO score 2.30±1.16, mean PROGRESS-CTO score 1.37±0.94). The preferred bifurcation treatment strategy was a provisional approach (93.5%). BIF-CTO patients presented with higher lesion complexity, as assessed by J-CTO score (2.42±1.02 vs 2.21±1.23 in the non-BIF-CTO patients, P=.025) and PROGRESS-CTO score (1.60±0.95 vs 1.22±0.90 in the non-BIF-CTO patients, P<.001). Procedural success was 78.9% and was not affected by the presence of bifurcation lesions (80.4% in the BIF-CTO group, 77.8% in the non-BIF-CTO-CTO group, P=.447) or the bifurcation site (proximal BIF-CTO 76.9%, mid-BIF-CTO 83.8%, distal BIF-CTO 85%, P=.204). Complication rates were similar in BIF-CTO and non-BIF-CTO. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of bifurcation lesions is high in contemporary CTO PCI. Patients with BIF-CTO present with higher lesion complexity, with no impact on procedural success or complication rates when the predominant strategy is provisional stenting.

Abstract
The optimal treatment strategy for coronary bifurcation lesions by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is complex and remains a subject of debate. Current guidelines advise a stepwise provisional approach with optional two-stent strategy. However, a two-stent strategy, both upfront and stepwise provisional, is technically demanding. Therefore, there is increasing interest in the use of drug-eluting balloons (DEB) in bifurcation lesions, mainly after a provisional approach with unsatisfactory result of the side branch. Some small pilot studies already showed that the use of DEB in bifurcation lesions is safe and feasible. However, a randomized comparison of this hybrid DEB strategy with a two-stent strategy is currently lacking. TRIAL DESIGN The Hybrid DEB study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial investigating noninferiority of a hybrid DEB approach, using a combination of a drug-eluting stent (DES) in the main vessel and DEB in the side branch, compared to stepwise provisional two-stent strategy in patients with true bifurcation lesions. A total of 500 patients with de novo true coronary bifurcation lesions, treated with a stepwise provisional approach and an unsatisfactory result of the side branch after main vessel stenting (≥ 70% stenosis and/or < thrombolysis in myocardial infarction III flow), will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either treatment with a DEB or with a DES in the side branch. The primary endpoint is a composite endpoint of the occurrence of all-cause death, periprocedural or spontaneous myocardial infarction and/or target vessel revascularization at the anticipated median 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSION The Hybrid DEB study will compare in a multicenter, randomized fashion a hybrid DEB approach with a stepwise provisional two-stent strategy in patients with true bifurcation lesions.

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.

Impact of coronary bifurcation angle on stent malapposition in a randomized comparison between proximal optimization technique followed by side branch dilatation and kissing balloon inflation.

Abstract
Background The impact of coronary bifurcation angle (BA) on incomplete stent apposition (ISA) after crossover stenting followed by side branch (SB) intervention has not been established. Methods A total of 100 crossover stentings randomly treated with proximal optimization technique followed by short balloon dilation in the SB (POT-SBD group, 48 patients) and final kissing balloon technique (KBT group, 52 patients) were analyzed in the PROPOT trial. Major ISA with maximum distance > 400 μm and its location was determined using optical coherence tomography before SB intervention and at the final procedure. The BA was defined as the angle between the distal main vessel and SB. Optimal POT was determined when the difference in stent volume index between the proximal and distal bifurcation was greater than the median value (0.86 mm3/mm) before SB intervention. Result Major ISA was more frequently observed in the POT-SBD than in the KBT group (35% versus 17%, p < 0.05). In the POT-SBD group, worsening ISA after SBD was prominent at the distal bifurcation. The BA was an independent predictor of major ISA (odds ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.07, p < 0.05) with a cut-off value of 59.5° (p < 0.05). However, the cases treated with optimal POT in the short BA (<60°) indicated the lowest incidence of major ISA. In the KBT group, BA had no significant impact. Conclusion A wide BA has a potential risk for the occurrence of major ISA after POT followed by SBD in coronary bifurcation stenting.

Abstract
Knowledge in the field of bifurcation lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has progressively improved over the past 20 years. Therefore, the European Bifurcation Club and the EuroCTO Club have decided to write a joint consensus statement to share general knowledge and practical approaches in this complex field. When percutaneously treating CTOs, bifurcation lesions with relevant side branches (SBs) are found in approximately one-third of cases (35% at the proximal cap, 38% at the distal cap, and 27% within the CTO body). Occlusion of a relevant SB is not rare and has been shown to be associated with procedural complications and adverse outcomes. Simple bifurcation rules are very useful to prevent SB occlusion, and provisional SB stenting is the recommended approach in the majority of cases: protect the SB as soon as possible by wiring it, respect the fractal anatomy of the bifurcation by using the 3-diameter rule, and avoid using dissection and re-entry techniques. A systematic 2-stent approach can be used if needed or sometimes to connect both branches of the bifurcation. The retrograde approach can be very useful to save a relevant SB, especially in the case of a bifurcation at the distal cap or within the CTO body. Intravascular ultrasound is also a very important tool to address the difficulties with bifurcations at the proximal or distal cap and sometimes also within the CTO segment. Double-lumen microcatheters and angulated microcatheters are crucial tools to resolve access difficulties to the SB or the main branch.

Abstract
Coronary bifurcation lesions present a challenging lesion subset regarding procedural complexity and worse patient outcomes as compared to simple lesions. Drug eluting stents (DES), as the current standard of care for percutaneous myocardial revascularization, have tubular design and uniform diameter, and therefore, need to be subjected to a standardized set of procedural modifications, to optimally fit and reconstruct underlying bifurcation anatomy. Since contemporary DES have various design platforms, with diverse mechanical properties, we must be aware of the device's favorable characteristics and limitations, to ensure maximal procedural safety and success. This is especially true for bifurcation lesion stenting, during which device integrity will often be eventually tested by undergoing specific procedural steps, such as proximal balloon optimization, kissing-balloon inflations, or even intentional stent crushing. In this review we address the design characteristics of contemporary DES, their bifurcation-specific experimental testing data, and reported clinical results, in an attempt to provide relevant information and help in device selection for bifurcation stenting procedures.

Importance of optimal rewiring guided by 3-dimensional optical frequency domain imaging during double-kissing culotte stenting demonstrated through a novel bench model. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13511. [PMID: 37598246 PMCID: PMC10439901 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40606-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The usefulness of optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) guidance on two-stenting at left main bifurcation has not been evaluated. Here, we used a novel bench model to investigate whether pre-defined optimal rewiring with OFDI-guidance decreases acute incomplete stent apposition (ISA) at the left main bifurcation segment. A novel bench simulation system was developed to simulate the foreshortening and overlapping of daughter vessels as well as left main bifurcation motion under fluoroscopy. Double-kissing (DK) culotte stenting was performed using the novel bench model under fluoroscopy with or without OFDI-guidance. In the OFDI-guidance group, if the guidewire did not pass through the pre-defined optimal cell according to the 3-dimensional OFDI, additional attempts of rewiring into the jailed side branch were performed. The success rate of optimal jailed side branch rewiring after implantation of the first and second stent under OFDI-guidance was significantly higher than that under only angio-guidance. After completion of the DK-culotte stenting, the incidence and volume of ISA at the bifurcation segment in the OFDI-guidance group was significantly lower than that in the angio-guidance group. Online 3-dimensional OFDI-guided DK-culotte stenting according to a pre-defined optimal rewiring point might be superior to only angio-guided rewiring for reducing ISA at the bifurcation.

Post-procedural and long-term functional outcomes of jailed side branches in stented coronary bifurcation lesions assessed with side branch Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1217069. [PMID: 37600052 PMCID: PMC10435891 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1217069] [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: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction In coronary bifurcation lesions treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a 1-stent strategy, the occurrence of side branch (SB) compromise may lead to long-term myocardial ischemia in the SB territory. Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) is a novel angiography-based approach estimating fractional flow reserve from a single angiographic view, and thus is more feasible to assess SB compromise in routine practice. However, its association with long-term SB coronary blood flow remains unknown. Methods A total of 146 patients with 313 non-left main bifurcation lesions receiving 1-stent strategy with drug-eluting stents was included in this retrospective study. These lesions had post-procedural Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 in SBs, and documented angiographic images of index procedure and 6- to 24-month angiographic follow-up. Post-procedural SB μQFR was calculated. Long-term SB coronary blood flow was quantified with the TIMI grading system using angiograms acquired at angiographic follow-up. Results At follow-up, 8 (2.6%), 16 (5.1%), 61 (19.5%), and 228 (72.8%) SBs had a TIMI flow grade of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The incidences of long-term SB TIMI flow grade ≤1 and ≤2 both tended to decrease across the tertiles of post-procedural SB μQFR. The receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated the post-procedural SB μQFR ≤0.77 was the optimal cut-off value to identify long-term SB TIMI flow grade ≤1 (specificity, 37.50%; sensitivity, 87.20%; area under the curve, 0.6673; P = 0.0064), and it was independently associated with 2.57-fold increased risk (adjusted OR, 2.57; 95% CI, 1.02-7.25; P = 0.045) in long-term SB TIMI flow grade ≤1 after adjustment. Discussion Post-procedural SB μQFR was independently associated with increased risk in impaired SB TIMI flow at long-term follow-up. Further investigations should focus on whether PCI optimization based on μQFR may contribute to improve SB flow in the long term.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of the left main coronary artery is one of the most challenging scenarios in interventional cardiology, due to the large portion of myocardium at risk the technical complexity of treating a complex bifurcation with large branches. Our aim is to provide un updated overview of the current indications for percutaneous treatment of the left main, the different techniques and the rationale underlying the choice for provisional versus upfront two-stent strategies, intravascular imaging and physiology guidance in the management of left main disease, and the role of mechanical support devices in complex high-risk PCI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy for coronary left main (LM) bifurcation lesions remains controversial. This meta-analysis compared the medium and long-term follow-up clinical outcomes of single vs. systematic dual stenting strategies of LM bifurcation lesions. METHODS We systematically identified studies published within 5 years comparing single vs. systematic double stenting strategies for LM bifurcation lesions. The primary endpoint was medium-term (1 year) and long-term (at least 3 years) all-cause death. Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), target lesion revascularization (TLR), overall occurrence of stent thrombosis (ST), cardiovascular (CV) mortality, and myocardial infarction (MI). RESULTS Two randomized controlled trials and nine observational studies with 7,318 patients were included in this meta-analysis. In terms of the medium-term follow-up clinical outcomes, our pooled analysis showed that use of the systematic dual stenting strategy was associated with a lower ST risk (odds ratio [OR] = 0.43, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20-0.89, P = 0.02) and cardiac death risk (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.21-0.89, P = 0.02) compared to the single stenting strategy; there was no significant difference between the two strategies regarding rates of all-cause death, MACE, TLR, and MI. Patients with long-term follow-up showed comparable observed clinical outcomes between the two strategies. Most importantly, for patients with true LM bifurcation, the risk of all-cause death, ST, and CV mortality following the systematic dual stenting strategy was significantly lower than the single stenting strategy. CONCLUSIONS For patients with LM bifurcation lesions, both the systematic dual stenting strategy and single stenting strategy demonstrated comparable results in terms of all-cause mortality during medium-term and long-term follow-up. However, the systematic dual stenting strategy showed a tendency towards lower incidence of ST and CV mortality compared to the single stenting strategy during medium-term follow-up. Consequently, the systematic dual stenting strategy yielded superior clinical outcomes for patients with LM bifurcation lesions.

Abstract
Background A case of stent thrombosis as a complication of coronary bifurcation stenting is described. We review potential complications of bifurcation stenting and established guidelines. Case summary A 64-year-old man presented with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. High-sensitivity troponin I peaked at 99 000 ng/L (normal <5). He previously had coronary stenting for stable angina when residing in another country 2 years previously. Coronary angiography revealed no significant stenosis with TIMI 3 flow in all vessels. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory regional motion abnormality, late gadolinium enhancement consistent with recent infarction, and a left ventricular apical thrombus. Repeat angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) confirmed bifurcation stenting at the junction of the LAD and second diagonal (D2) with protrusion of several millimetres of the uncrushed proximal segment of the D2 stent in the LAD vessel lumen. There was under-expansion of the LAD stent in the mid-vessel and stent malapposition in the proximal LAD, extending into the distal left main stem coronary artery and involving the ostium of the left circumflex coronary artery. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty was performed along the length of the stent, including an internal crush of the D2 stent. Coronary angiography confirmed a uniform expansion of the stented segments and TIMI 3 flow. Final IVUS confirmed full stent expansion and apposition. Discussion This case highlights the importance of provisional stenting as a default strategy and familiarity with procedural steps in bifurcation stenting. Furthermore, it emphasizes the benefit of intravascular imaging for lesion characterization and stent optimization.

Abstract
Provisional stenting has become the default technique for the treatment of most coronary bifurcation lesions. However, the side branch (SB) can become compromised after main vessel (MV) stenting and restoring SB patency can be difficult in challenging anatomies. Angiographic and intracoronary imaging criteria can predict the risk of side branch closure and may encourage use of side branch protection strategies. These protective approaches provide strategies to avoid SB closure or overcome compromise following MV stenting, minimising periprocedural injury. In this article, we analyse the strategies of SB preservation discussed and developed during the most recent European Bifurcation Club (EBC) meetings.

Abstract
Iterations in stent technologies, advances in pharmacotherapy, and awareness of the implications of implantation techniques have markedly reduced the risk of stent failure, both in the form of stent thrombosis (ST) and in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, given the number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed worldwide every year, ST and ISR, albeit occurring at a fairly low rate, represent a public health problem even with contemporary DES platforms. The understanding of mechanisms and risk factors for these two PCI complications has been of fundamental importance for the parallel evolution of stent technologies. Risk factors associated with ST and ISR are usually divided into patient-, lesion-, device- and procedure-related. A number of studies have shown how certain risk factors are related to early (1 month) versus late/very late ST (between 1 month and 1 year and >1 year, respectively). However, more research is required to conclusively show the role of time-dependence of risk factors also in the incidence of ISR (early [1 year] or late [>1 year]). A thorough risk assessment is required due to the complex etiology of ST and ISR. The most effective strategy to treat ST and ISR is still to prevent them; hence, it is crucial to identify patient-, lesion-, device- and procedure-related predictors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Techniques for provisional and dual-stent left main bifurcation stenting require optimization. AIM To identify technical variables influencing procedural outcomes and periprocedural myocardial infarction following left main bifurcation intervention. METHODS Procedural and outcome data were analyzed in 438 patients from the per-protocol cohort of the European Bifurcation Club Left Main Trial (EBC MAIN). These patients were randomized to the provisional strategy or a compatible dual-stent extension (T, T-and-protrude, or culotte). RESULTS Mean age was 71 years and 37.4% presented with an acute coronary syndrome. Transient reduction of side vessel thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow occurred after initial stent placement in 5% of procedures but was not associated with periprocedural myocardial infarction. Failure to rewire a jailed vessel during any strategy was more common when jailed wires were not used (9.5% vs. 2.5%, odds ratio [OR]: 6.4, p = 0.002). In the provisional cohort, the use of the proximal optimization technique was associated with less subsequent side vessel intervention (23.3% vs. 41.9%, OR: 0.4, p = 0.048). Side vessel stenting was predominantly required for dissection, which occurred more often following side vessel preparation (15.3% vs. 4.4%, OR: 3.1, p = 0.040). Exclusive use of noncompliant balloons for kissing balloon inflation was associated with reduced need for side vessel intervention in provisional cases (20.5% vs. 38.5%, OR: 0.4, p = 0.013), and a reduced risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction across all strategies (2.9% vs. 7.7%, OR: 0.2, p = 0.020). CONCLUSION When performing provisional or compatible dual-stent left main bifurcation intervention, jailed wire use is associated with successful jailed vessel rewiring. Side vessel preparation in provisional patients is linked to increased side vessel dissection requiring stenting. Use of the proximal optimization technique may reduce the need for additional side vessel intervention, and noncompliant balloon use for kissing balloon inflation is associated with a reduction in both side vessel stenting and periprocedural myocardial infarction.

Jailed pressure wire technique for coronary bifurcation lesions: structural damage and clinical outcomes. REVISTA ESPANOLA DE CARDIOLOGIA (ENGLISH ED.) 2022:S1885-5857(22)00312-7. [PMID: 36427787 DOI: 10.1016/j.rec.2022.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The use of a pressure wire as a jailed wire to evaluate side branch results during provisional stenting seems feasible. However, safety concerns exist due to the mechanical damage of the wire and the lack of prospective data evaluating the prognosis of patients treated using this technique. This study sought to evaluate the structural damage of the pressure wire in patients treated using the jailed pressure wire technique and to assess mid-term clinical outcomes. METHODS We enrolled 99 patients with single bifurcation lesions and provisional stenting as the strategy of choice. A jailed pressure wire was used to guide side branch intervention according to the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR). A total of 114 patients and the respective nonpolymer-coated jailed wires were used as historical controls. Guidewire damage was evaluated by stereomicroscopy. The primary endpoint was significant microscopic damage. Major adverse cardiac events were evaluated at 2-year follow-up. RESULTS Significant microscopic damage was more frequent in pressure wires than in nonpolymer-coated wires (53.5% vs 22.8%, P<.001). There were no fractures in either group. There were fewer side branch interventions in the pressure wire group (postdilation/kissing balloon, 32.3% vs 56.1%, P=.001; stenting, 0.0% vs 2.6%, P=.104). The 2-year rate of major adverse cardiac events was similar between the 2 groups (HRadj, 0.42; 95%CI, 0.10-1.73; P=.229). CONCLUSIONS Pressure wires were less resistant to jailing than conventional nonpolymer-coated wires. Patients treated with iFR-guided provisional stenting required fewer side branch interventions but had similar 2-year clinical outcomes than patients treated with the angiography-guided technique.

Abstract
Coronary bifurcation percutaneous interventions (PCI) comprise a challenging subset of patients with coronary artery disease. Beyond the well-known debate about single versus double stent strategies, which have different outcomes on mid- and long-term follow up, both strategies may be subject, although rarely, to several different technical complications, rarely reported in clinical trials, which need to be defined, classified, and understood by cardiovascular professionals involved in the management of patients with coronary bifurcation disease. The present paper aims to broaden the knowledge of the range of intraprocedural complications and relative treatment during PCI of coronary bifurcations.

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.

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.

Side Branch Late Thrombosis After Left Main Coronary Artery Crossover Stenting. Cardiol Ther 2022; 11:453-459.

Abstract
Background With the established use of crossover stenting technique in bifurcation coronary artery lesions, added clinical benefit of final kissing of the side branch remains debatable. We report a case of a stenosis and thrombus formation of an ostial side branch after crossover stenting. Case Summary A 38-year-old man was admitted with acute coronary syndrome complicated by acute pulmonary oedema. He was treated with stenting of the left descending artery (LAD) into the left main coronary artery (LMCA) 12 months earlier. Coronary angiography showed a filling defect in the ostial left circumflex coronary artery (LCX). Optical coherence tomography revealed neointimal growth of the LAD stent resulting in narrowing the LCX orifice and a large thrombus behind stent struts. After treatment of the lesion and optimised implantations of drug-eluting stents, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and monitored closely. Given his advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy, the patient is being evaluated for heart transplantation eligibility. Discussion Stent struts across a bifurcated major side branch after crossover stenting could risk late stenosis and thrombus formation of the side branch. The clinical usefulness of routine imaging-guided kissing techniques even with good angiographic results in these cases should be evaluated.
