An article titled - proximal optimization technique versus final kissing balloon inflation in coronary bifurcation lesions: the randomized, multicenter propot trial - was submitted for review.
The aim of the study was to investigate whether proximal optimization technique (pot) was superior in terms of stent apposition compared with the conventional kissing balloon technique (kbt) in real life bifurcation lesions using optical coherence tomography (oct).
120 patients were included in the prospective study and randomized into two groups for pci between april 2016 and july 2018.
All patients had either a resolute integrity or a resolute onyx drug eluting stent implanted.
The first group was the pot followed by side branch dilation group and included a final number of 57 patients.
The final number of 58 patients of the second group underwent kbt.
The primary endpoint of the study was the rate of malapposed struts assessed by the final oct.
The rate of malapposed struts did not differ between the two groups.
More additional treatments were required among the pot group.
One year clinical outcomes included one myocardial infarction, clinically driven target lesion revascularization (tlr), main vessel in-stent restenosis, proximal edge re-stenosis and target vessel revascularization.
