Zhang W, et al. - In this prospective study of 60 patients (49 males, 11 females, mean age 66 ± 10 years) with coronary bifurcation lesions who received treatment at the Beijing Hospital between September 2014 and October 2015, researchers investigated the immediate and long-term treatment effect and adverse events of a new modified jailed-balloon technique on side branch (SB) during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on coronary bifurcation lesions. Acute coronary syndrome (91.7%) and Medina 1.1.1. bifurcation lesions (71.7%) were evident in the majority of the patients. After main vessel (MV) stenting, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 flow was established 100% of MV and 93.3% of SB. Findings suggest modified jailed-balloon technique provided a high rate of procedural success, exceptional SB protection during MV stenting, and first-rate immediate and long-term clinical outcomes.
