Key result
Radial proximal to distal Y-stenting provides provisional and full coronary bifurcation coverage in a bench model.
Bench model supports radial bifurcation stenting feasibility; leaves open clinical safety and efficacy.
Proximal to distal Y stenting technique is a modified bifurcation technique based on the original Y stenting technique described over 20 years ago. We use a bench top model to illustrate the steps of the technique, which can provide both provisional and full coverage options, using radial artery access. This technique may be applied in clinical settings on a wide range of bifurcation anatomies with a number of unique advantages.

Ding et al. (2020) studied coronary bifurcation lesions. Proximal to distal Y-stenting using radial access was evaluated. Proximal to distal Y-stenting using radial access was demonstrated in a bench top model to provide provisional and full coverage options for coronary bifurcation lesions.
