TLDR
The FFR measurement in jailed side branch lesions is both safe and feasible and compared with the stenosis severity assessed by quantitative coronary angiography, which suggests that most of these lesions do not have functional significance.About:

Randomized Study of the Crush Technique Versus Provisional Side-Branch Stenting in True Coronary Bifurcations: The CACTUS (Coronary Bifurcations: Application of the Crushing Technique Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stents) Study
Antonio Colombo,Ezio Bramucci,Salvatore Saccà,Roberto Violini,Corrado Lettieri,Roberto Zanini,Imad Sheiban,Leonardo Paloscia,Eberhard Grube,Joachim Schofer,Leonardo Bolognese,Mario Orlandi,Giampaolo Niccoli,Azeem Latib,Flavio Airoldi +14 more
TL;DR: In most bifurcations with a significant stenosis in both branches, a provisional strategy of stenting the main branch only is effective, with the need to implant a second stent on the side branch occurring in approximately one third of cases.

TL;DR: When coronary bifurcation lesions are treated, a systematic 2-stent technique results in higher rates of in-hospital and 9-month major adverse cardiovascular events, largely driven by periprocedural myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: In this randomized clinical trial involving patients with complex coronary lesions, the use of a sirolimus-eluting stent had a consistent treatment effect, reducing the rates of restenosis and associated clinical events in all subgroups analyzed.

TL;DR: As compared with a standard coronary stent, a sirolimus-eluting stent shows considerable promise for the prevention of neointimal proliferation, restenosis, and associated clinical events.

TL;DR: As compared with bare-metal stents, the slow-release, polymer-based, paclitaxel-eluting stent is safe and markedly reduces the rates of clinical and angiographic restenosis at nine months.

TL;DR: In patients with coronary stenosis of moderate severity, FFR appears to be a useful index of the functional severity of the stenoses and the need for coronary revascularization.

Experimental basis of determining maximum coronary, myocardial, and collateral blood flow by pressure measurements for assessing functional stenosis severity before and after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
TL;DR: These results provide the experimental basis for determining relative maximum flow or fractional flow reserve of both the epicardial coronary artery and the myocardium, including collateral flow, from pressure measurements during maximum arteriolar vasodilation.
