Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of using real-time ultrasound guidance for venous closure with suture-mediated vascular closure devices (VCDs) in patients undergoing catheter ablation procedures.
  • - Results showed that ultrasound guidance significantly lowered the rate of device failure and overall access site-related complications compared to traditional methods without ultrasound assistance.
  • - Patients who received ultrasound-guided closure experienced faster recovery times, allowing them to ambulate more quickly than those who did not receive this guidance.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation lesions remains challenging, with there being several debatable issues, including the requirement for kissing balloon inflation (KBI). The objective of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes following single crossover stent implantation with KBI or sequential dilation alone. Data were examined for 255 non-left main bifurcation lesions (246 patients) treated with single crossover stent implantation, followed by side branch (SB) strut dilation with KBI (n = 74 lesions) or sequential dilation (n = 181 lesions) in three hospitals.
