Abstract

The IKISS-LM (Impact of Kissing Balloon Inflation on Provisional Left Main Bifurcation Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial) trial evaluates whether routine KBI improves side branch ostium patency and clinical outcomes after PSS in noncomplex dLMBD, aiming to refine evidence-based strategies for LM bifurcation PCI.
