Prospective Global Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Bifurcation Lesions (PROGRESS-BIFURCATION)
Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation
Summary
Coronary bifurcation lesions are lesions (or blockages) that occur at or near the intersection of a major coronary artery and one of the arteries' side branches. Numerous techniques and devices have been developed to treat coronary bifurcations; however, these types of lesions remain some of the most challenging, both in terms of procedural success and outcome. This study is designed as an observational, multi-center registry that will collect information on treatment strategies and outcomes of consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in coronary bifurcations among various participating centers, in order to determine the frequency of bifurcation PCI, the procedural strategies utilized, and the procedural outcomes.
Description
Numerous techniques and devices have been developed to treat coronary bifurcations; however, these types of lesions remain some of the most challenging, both in terms of procedural success and outcome. Several techniques are currently being utilized to treat coronary bifurcation lesions, including a 1-stent provisional stenting technique. Various 2-stent techniques are also performed, including: double kiss crush (DK crush4), culotte, T and protrusion (TAP), crush, mini-crush, reverse crush and V-stenting. The optimal technique for bifurcation stenting when two stents are required remains cont…
