Clinical Outcomes Following Bifurcation Techniques for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

The specific endpoints that we followed were myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, major adverse effects, stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and target lesion revascularization (TLR). In addition, of all the 2-stent techniques, they found that the double kissing crush technique was associated with lower risk of cardiac death, major adverse cardiac events, MI, stent thrombosis, TVR, and TLR [[7]]. Outcomes include target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, major adverse effects, stent thrombosis. Stent thrombosis was analyzed in 28 studies (see Figure 5) and the relative risk of stent thrombosis was 1.25 (95% CI (0.88-1.79)). [Extracted from the article]
