P2690Safety and effectiveness of thin-strut DES for bifurcated coronary lesions not involving left main: a RAIN (veRy thin stents for patients with left mAIn or bifurcatioN in real life) sub-analysis

Background Thinner stent struts of new DES (drug eluting stent) are associated with shorter time of reendothelialization, a reduction of shear stress and inflammation of coronary walls. Despite this great innovations their clinical safety and efficacy in challenging scenarios as non left main bifurcation coronary lesions has not been tested. Methods RAIN is a multicenter registry enrolling patients treated on bifurcated coronary lesions and left...
