[Short and long-term results of endovascular treatment of bifurcational coronary stenosis].

Short and long-term results of endovascular treatment of true bifurcational coronary stenosis were analyzed in 229 patients. 68 patients received a "provisional-T" stenting on the first stage of the study. On the next stage 40 patients received the same "provisional-T" stenting, a total bifurcational stenting was conducted in 37 patients. Only coated stents were used. Independent risk factors of "provisional-T" stenting conversion to total bifurcational stenting were revealed. There were no differences between "provisional-T" and total bifurcational stenting considering the short-term treatment results. Long-term results (12-18 months) were analyzed in 70 patients. There were no restenosis of the main artery, whereas restenosis of the lateral branch was noticed in 5.5 and 2.94%, respectively, in the groups of "provisional-T" and total bifurcational stenting. Late thrombosis was registered in 1 case from the group of total bifurcational stenting.
