The optimal side-branch (SB) ostium treatment after provisional side-branch scaffolding remains a subject of debate in bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) era. In this study, we evaluated a novel optimized provisional T-stenting technique (OPT) and assessed its feasibility by comparison with T and small protrusion technique (TAP).Two provisional SB scaffolding techniques (OPT, n = 5; TAP, n = 5) were performed using polymeric BVS in a bifurcated phantom. The sequential intermediate snuggling b ...[more]
