Can the T and Minimal Protrusion (TAP) Technique be Considered as an Up‐Front 2‐Stent Strategy for True Distal Left Main Stem Bifurcation?

Key Points

• This research investigates whether the TAP technique is an effective upfront strategy for left main bifurcation treatment.
• Conducted a multicenter registry study
• Compared clinical outcomes of TAP and non-TAP bifurcation techniques
• Evaluated need for target vessel revascularization (TVR)
• No significant differences in long-term clinical outcomes between TAP and non-TAP techniques
• TAP showed a reduced need for target vessel revascularization
