Diffuse, in-stent restenosis, characterized by lesions greater than 10 mm in length, is associated with revascularization rates ranging from 34% to more than 80% following conventional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 Lesion lengths...

Treatment of bifurcation lesions has been associated with lower success and higher complications rates. They represent a major interventional challenge. Redistribution of plaque (snowplow effect) often leads to occlusion of the side branch....
