The increased main branch to stent diameter ratio is associated with side branch decreased coronary flow in "true" coronary artery bifurcations treated by "provisional" stenting - a two-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography study [PDF]
Background/Aim. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in bifurcation lesions having more than 50% stenosis of both the main branch (MB) and the side branch (SB) remain challenging.
