David thinks he crushed the 2-stent strategy with one sling
shot
What all David said is true, but…
• In BBC one and Nordic one, side branch intervention is required in 28% of patients.
• BBC one showed peri-procedural MI is greater(13 patients) in complex stent strategy.
• David said that the significance of these MI is debatable.

Limitations of BBC One
• Clinical trial without angiographic f/u. • Study not restricted to true bifurcations. • Additional lesions were treated in 16%
of simple vs 20% of complex groups. • Local PI bias • Allowed only Culotte and Crush for the
2 stent strategy.
Circulation. 2010; 121: 1235-1243
Why does David do PCI?
• Regardless of technique used, bifurcation PCI improved functional status and QOL.

Applying the data (and conventions) of bifurcation PCI to UPLM CAD.
Current standards
• The main vessel stent should be sized according to the distal diameter
• Proximal Optimization Technique • Kissing NC balloon inflations • Wire the SB via the distal stent strut • Provisional T stent is the standard • Culotte is better than crush

5 Year Follow-Up Nordic Bifurcation Study Simple vs Complex Stenting Strategy in Non-LM PCI
• MACE event were low and did not differ significantly in patients treated with a simple versus a complex bifurcation stenting technique.
• Stent thrombosis rate was not increased
in patients treated with 2-stents.
Meta-Analysis: NORDIC I & BBC I (Non LM Bifurcations) Probability of MACE (Death/MI/TVR)
Difference in MACE favoring a simple strategy
In the Nordic-BBC meta analysis the average SB stenosis was 59% and 65% for the simple & complex strategy respectively. In many of these trials, up to 25% of patients have no SB disease.

A Randomized Pilot Trial for Treatment of Large Bifurcation Lesions with Simultaneous Kissing Stents: PRECISE-SKS Trial
Optimal stenting strategy for coronary bifurcation lesions continues to evolve with most of the earlier studies favoring stenting the main vessel (MV) over stenting both MV and the side-branch (SB). Simultaneous kissing stents (SKS) techniques involves deploying two stents simultaneously in both branches with guaranteed coverage of SB ostium, no stent deformation and excellent long-term results. Present SKS-Precise study is a randomized trial comparing SKS technique vs conventional stent strategy (CSS) of deploying stent in MV and provisional stent of the SB for the treatment of large bifurcation lesions (Duke type D). The primary endpoints were angiographic restenosis (>50% diameter stenosis of the target lesion) at 8-month and a major adverse cardiac events (MACE: TLR, stent thrombosis, MI or death) at 1-yr. A total of 100 pts were randomized (51 in SKS group and 49 in CSS group), with 1-yr clinical follow-up available in all pts and angiographic follow-up in 83 cases. The SB stenting in CSS group was needed in 28%. All pts received sirolimus-eluting stents (SES). Baseline clinical and angiographic variables were comparable, with lower angiographic success of SB in CSS. The SKS technique for large bifurcation lesions resulted in a trend towards better acute success and long-term patency, especially in the SB, compared to conventional stent technique. Therefore, SKS technique can be safely recommended in the treatment of the true large coronary bifurcations.
Numbers in these studies are generally small

NORDIC IV
– 1.3% vs 4.6% in favour of the two-stent approach
– Huge difference!
– (p=0.09)

• Difference largely driven by reintervention
• …large side branches cause angina!
• We have found our group at last

Fallacies in Zimarino’s study
• Several non-randomized registries and not true bifurcation studies.
• Selection bias. • Increased TLR, TVR could be due to
first generation stents and patient factors.

Conclusions
• Bifurcation stenting is Class II b. • Differentiate Simple vs Complex
bifurcation • SB > 2.5 mm, >10 mm long, >75% is
complex, eccentric plaque and DM are complex features and need 2 stent strategy.
