Article Synopsis
  • Management of thrombus during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is crucial to prevent complications like stent malapposition, especially at coronary bifurcations, leading to the development of a new experimental model to study thrombus behavior.
  • In the study, three pPCI strategies were tested on a bifurcation model using human blood to analyze their effects on thrombus trapping and embolization: balloon-expandable stent (BES), BES with proximal optimizing technique (POT), and nitinol self-apposing stent (SAS).
  • Results showed that while BES trapped more thrombus than SAS or BES+POT, both SAS and BES+POT provided significantly better stent apposition, suggesting that

Aims: Initial proximal optimization technique (POT) in provisional stenting improves global malapposition, side-branch (SB) obstruction (SBO) and conservation of arterial circularity. The specific mechanical effects of a final POT sequence concluding the main provisional stenting techniques, on the other hand, are unknown.

Methods And Results: Synergy™ stents were implanted on fractal coronary bifurcation bench models using the main provisional stenting techniques (n = 5 per group): kissing-balloon inflation (KBI), snuggle, and rePOT (initial POT + SB inflation + final POT).

Aims: A new coronary bifurcation provisional stenting technique without kissing balloon, rePOT, associating the proximal optimisation technique (POT), side branch inflation and final POT, showed excellent mechanical results in a bench test. The present study sought to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to quantify the mechanical results of rePOT in vivo in a large patient sample with complex coronary bifurcations.

Methods And Results: A total of 106 patients with coronary bifurcations were included in a multicentre prospective registry (left main, 40.

Aims: The rePOT (proximal optimisation technique) sequence proved significantly more effective than final kissing balloon (FKB) with two drug-eluting stents (DES) in a bench test. We sought to validate efficacy experimentally in a large range of latest-generation DES.

Methods And Results: On left main fractal coronary bifurcation bench models, five samples of each of the six main latest-generation DES (Coroflex ISAR, Orsiro, Promus PREMIER, Resolute Integrity, Ultimaster, XIENCE Xpedition) were implanted on rePOT (initial POT, side branch inflation, final POT).

Objectives: The aim of this fractal bifurcation bench study was to compare provisional bifurcation stenting with a "re-POT" sequence, comprising a proximal optimizing technique (POT), side branch inflation, and final POT, between a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) and a metallic stent.

Background: Re-POT proved significantly better than kissing balloon inflation in maintaining circular geometry without overstretch in metal stents, while significantly reducing side branch ostium strut obstruction and global strut malapposition. This should be useful for BVSs, which are more easily breakable.
