Does a smaller carina angle predict side branch compromise and MACE in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions undergoing main vessel stenting?
A smaller carina angle is a geometrical predictor of adverse outcomes, including side branch compromise and MACE, in coronary bifurcation lesions treated with main vessel stenting.
Gil et al. (2009) studied this question.
