description | Ischemic coronary artery disease in all its forms remains the main cause of death worldwide. Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are a challenge because of their complexity and possible complications. The goal of treating bifurcation lesions is the optimal revascularization of the main vessel without compromising the side branch. Although the study of bifurcation stenting aims to keep the side branch viable, the outcomes regarding major acute cardiovascular events and survivability are related to the optimal treatment of the main vessel. There are many trials that have tried to evaluate the best technique to use with respect to bifurcation lesions, and early studies support provisional stenting as the election treatment. More recent trials highlighted the superior outcomes of the double kissing crush technique used on unprotected distal left main bifurcation lesions. In patients with acute myocardial infarction, two-stent techniques were avoided because of the prolonged procedural time in unstable patients, with high risks of complications. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman with multiple cardiovascular risk factors (dyslipidemia, hypertension, active cancer, post-COVID-19 state) and acute antero-lateral myocardial infarction who underwent primary coronary intervention with the use of the TAP technique for stenting the bifurcation culprit coronary lesion (left anterior descendent artery and first diagonal artery). |
