CASES OF BIFURCATION
STENTING LAST WEEK
WASIQ 47YRS/M R/O DELHI
 Chief c/o-
     1-AOE NYHA class II for 2yrs
h/o HTN, No h/o DM
chronic bidi smoker

ECG- T wave inversion in V1-V6
2D ECHO-
    No RWMA,LVEF 60%
BIFURCATION STENTING
 True bifurcation- MB & SB are both
  significantly narrowed (>50% diameter stenosis).
 Non true bifurcations- all other lesions
Strategy of stenting the MV with provisional
SB stenting is the current favored approach.



Two   stents strategy may be preferred, such as
in the presence of a large SB that supplies a
significant area of myocardium especially when
side branch arises at a shallow angle.

GENERAL APPROACH OF
BIFURCATION LESION
SECOND STENT IN SIDE BRANCH
AFTER PROVISIONAL APPROACH


 T technique
 Modified T technique—SB
  stent first, when angle
  between MB & SB is near
  90 degrees
CRUSH TECHNIQUE
T STENTING & SMALL
PROTRUSION(TAP)
   T stenting & crush technique
REVERSE
CRUSH
TECHNIQUE
   Minimize
    any possible
    gap b/w MB
    & SB
CULOTTE TECHNIQUE
SKS TECHNIQUE
