Key Points

This research aims to evaluate how different bifurcation angles affect the safety and effectiveness of the TAP technique in STEMI.
Evaluated outcomes of TAP stenting at various bifurcation angles in patients with STEMI

Structured PICO

Does bifurcation angle impact clinical outcomes of the TAP stenting technique in STEMI?

Population

STEMI patients

Intervention

TAP (T and Protrusion) stenting technique

Comparator

Wide and intermediate bifurcation angles vs narrow angles (<50°)

Outcome

Clinical outcomes / adverse eventssafety

In STEMI patients undergoing TAP stenting, narrow bifurcation angles (<50°) may increase the risk of adverse events compared to wider angles.

Abstract

TAP stenting appears safe and effective in wide and intermediate bifurcation angles in STEMI. However, narrow angles (<50°) may portend a higher risk of adverse events, warranting cautious application and further validation through prospective studies.
