Understanding the over-expansion capacity of contemporary DES platforms is critical for optimal stent sizing and ensuring full apposition in left main bifurcation interventions.
This update presents valuable novel insights that may be helpful for careful selection of stent size for contemporary DES based on model designs. Such information is especially critical in left main bifurcation stenosis treatment where overexpansion to larger oversized diameter may be required to ensure full stent apposition.
