Comparable MACE rates support 1-stent viability in non-left main bifurcations; leaves open optimal strategy pending randomized trials.
Does the 1-stent technique compared to the 2-stent technique reduce MACE in patients undergoing DES implantation for non-left main bifurcation lesions?
In a real-world registry, the 1-stent technique for coronary bifurcation lesions yielded favorable long-term outcomes comparable to the 2-stent technique, though kissing ballooning increased MACE risk specifically in the 1-stent group.
