Assessment of predictors of side branch occlusion after main vessel stenting in coronary bifurcation lesions in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the frequency of side branch [SB] occlusion during percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] with stenting of bifurcation lesions and to assess the predictors of side branch occlusion in local population. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study Cardiac Catheterization Lab, Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology, Rawalpindi, from July 2016 to January 2017
