Does bifurcation angle impact clinical outcomes of the TAP stenting technique in STEMI?
In STEMI patients undergoing TAP stenting, narrow bifurcation angles (<50°) may increase the risk of adverse events compared to wider angles.
TAP stenting appears safe and effective in wide and intermediate bifurcation angles in STEMI. However, narrow angles (<50°) may portend a higher risk of adverse events, warranting cautious application and further validation through prospective studies.
Eren et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
