Provisional Stents

The Provisional stenting approach is the recommended approach for the majority of bifurcation lesions because of its simplicity and flexibility. It primarily uses one stent but has the option to transition into a 2-stent procedure (see Culotte and T/TAP) if necessary. Provisional stenting has a lower risk of Myocardial Infarction and restenosis when compared to techniques that use 2 stents.
