EuroInterventionPublished Expert consensus document

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Provisional stenting is the default technique for most coronary bifurcation lesions

  2. Angiographic and intracoronary imaging criteria can predict side branch (SB) closure risk and may encourage SB protection strategies

  3. Protective approaches avoid SB closure or overcome compromise after main vessel (MV) stenting, minimising periprocedural injury
