Modified T-Stenting With Szabo Technique Versus T-Stenting for Bifurcation Lesions in Coronary Heart Diseases

Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital100 enrolled

Overview

The study will compare clinical outcomes of modified T-stenting with Szabo technique with T-stenting for bifurcation lesions in coronary heart diseases.

Accurate deployment of stents in ostial lesions is difficult with traditional angiographic guidance. Szabo technique, which used a second angioplasty guide wire to anchor the stent by passing the proximal end of the anchor wire through the last cell of the stent, demonstrated accurate placement of the stents in ostial locations. In bifurcation lesions, 2-stent strategy positioning with Szabo technique was not investigated. Modified T-stenting with Szabo technique may improve prognosis of bifurcation lesions through reducing stents overlap. There is no clinical trial focuses on the effect and outcome of Szabo technique for coronary artery bifurcation lesions in contrast with conventional strategy. In this study, the authors choose the closest 2-stent strategy, T-stenting, as control. We hope to determine whether a planned Szabo 2-stent technique is superior to T-stenting for patients with bifurcation lesions. Patients with bifurcation lesions will be randomly assigned to receive Szabo 2-stent technique or T-stenting strategy. Clinical outcomes and imaging assessment will be used to estimate their effects.

Interventions

Szabo T-Stenting TechniquePROCEDURE

2-stent strategy was performed using modified T-stenting with Szabo technique in bifurcation lesions. First, stent was implanted in the side branch with Szabo technique. Then, stent was implanted in the main branch. Finally, kissing balloon inflation was performed.

T-Stenting TechniquePROCEDURE

2-stent strategy was performed using traditional T-stenting technique in bifurcation lesions. First, stent was implanted in the side branch with angiographic guidance. Then, stent was implanted in the main branch. Finally, kissing balloon inflation was performed.
