Abstract:
Coronary bifurcation lesions are considered among the most challenging lesions to treat with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in cases of extensively diseased branches. In the event of failure of a provisional (one-stent) approach, many two-stent bifurcation techniques can be performed for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions. Two techniques (culotte and T/TAP) are suggested by the European Bifurcation Club, but a reverse crush is performed by some operators. This study aims to retrospectively compare these two different approaches (EBC-recommended techniques vs. reverse crush).

Types of Chemical Reactions: Exchange and Reversible
A special kind of exchange reaction is the oxidation-reduction reaction, or the redox reaction. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one compound to another. The electrons in these reactions commonly come from hydrogen atoms, which consist of an electron and a proton. A molecule gives up a...
