Feasibility of a Porcine Arteriovenous Shunt Model for Assessment of Acute Thrombogenicity in Bifurcation Stenting Technique By Optical Coherence Tomography
Highlights
- • DK crush and culotte bifurcation two-stenting with bare-metal stents (BMS) and drug-eluting stents (DES) were evaluated by multimodality imaging.
- • DES had less thrombogenicity with optical coherence tomography (OCT) than BMS, culotte stenting had more thrombus in the proximal main branch, and DK crush stenting had more at the bifurcation.
- • The feasibility of a porcine arteriovenous shunt model to assess thrombogenicity by OCT in bifurcation stenting technique was confirmed.
