BIFURCATION STENTING TREATMENT
Procedure:
An advanced (dedicated bifurcation stent) is used, which is shaped in such a way to remove narrowing from both the branches and has to be inserted through two wires to place it simultaneously in both branches. Stent covers both branches and is drug coated.
Major Indications:
Bifurcation lesion means there is a blockage in a site where the blood vessel divides into two and is more challenging to treat. Two branches of the blood vessel have a narrowing.
