Do different coronary bifurcation stenting techniques result in different hemodynamic profiles in computational models?
Computational fluid dynamics suggest that single main branch stenting provides better hemodynamic profiles than double stenting at coronary bifurcations.
Katritsis et al. (2012) studied Coronary bifurcations. Single main branch stenting vs. Double-stenting techniques (crush, T-stenting, culotte) was evaluated on Hemodynamic parameters (time averaged wall shear stress, oscillatory shear index, and relative residence time). In computer simulations, single main branch stenting offered hemodynamic advantages over double stenting, while crush stenting provided the most favorable results among double-stenting techniques.
