SCAI Bifurcation Club Webinar Series: Procedural Approaches and Techniques for Complex Lesions-Case: Provisional Stenting

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the use of provisional stenting in treating bifurcation lesions in coronary arteries. The speaker argues that using a provisional approach, where only one stent is initially implanted, has shown better safety outcomes compared to systematically using two stents. The speaker highlights relevant trials and meta-analyses that support this approach. They also present a case study of a complex bifurcation lesion treated using the provisional technique, demonstrating successful results with reduced risks. The video emphasizes the importance of careful evaluation and technique selection in treating such lesions. The patient in the case study had a successful post-procedure recovery and remains asymptomatic after three years.
