Bench testing and coronary artery bifurcations: a consensus document from the European Bifurcation Club.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a consensus document from the European Bifurcation Club concerning bench testing in coronary artery bifurcations. It is intended to provide guidelines for bench assessment of stents and other strategies in coronary bifurcation treatment where the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines are limited or absent. These recommendations provide guidelines rather than a step-by-step manual. We provide data on the anatomy of bifurcations and elastic response of coronary arteries to aid model construction. We discuss testing apparatus, bench testing endpoints and bifurcation nomenclature.

Coronary Intervent Ions
The European Bifurcation Club (EBC) is an independent, nonpolitical and informal “think tank” of scientists with a particular interest in clinical, technical and fundamental aspects of the management of coronary artery bifurcation disease. Bifurcations account for 15-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and remain one of the most challenging lesions in interventional cardiology ...
متن کاملCan quality-of-life analysis aid in substantiating simple over complex strategies for bifurcation lesions?
The strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention involving major anatomic bifurcations have been the subject of long debate as to whether complex 2-stent techniques are required or should simple provisional stenting strategy suffice. However, the debate seems to have settled following results from several randomized trials and registry studies (1–4). Although there are no formal guidelines...
متن کاملA Study of Coronary Bifurcation Shape in a Normal Population
During percutaneous coronary intervention, stents are placed in narrowings of the arteries to restore normal blood flow. Despite improvements in stent design, deployment techniques and drug-eluting coatings, restenosis and stent thrombosis remain a significant problem. Population stent design based on statistical shape analysis may improve clinical outcomes. Computed tomographic (CT) coronary a...
متن کاملStudying Renal Artery Bifurcation Structure in Male Dogs
Introduction: Arteries are made up three layers; tunica intima, tunica media, and tunica adventitia. However, in some part of the artery this structure may change. The greatest change occurs at the junctions and bifurcations. In this regard, we decided to study the renal artery bifurcation just where the renal arteries divide into smaller arteries before entering the kidney. Methods: The struc...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions; A Review and a Guide for Specific Interventional Techniques
Percutaneous coronary intervention in the setting of coronary bifurcation lesions is associated with increased risk for complications. The goal of this manuscript is to review the currently available classifications for coronary artery bifurcation lesions with a guide to the use of specific coronary bifurcation techniques based on lesion characteristics
