Pre–Drug-Eluting Stent Debulking of Bifurcated Coronary Lesions Etsuo Tsuchikane, Tadanori Aizawa, Hideo Tamai, Yasumi Igarashi, Kenji Kawajiri, Noriyuki Ozawa, Shigeru Nakamura, Koji Oku, Mikihiro Kijima, Takahiko Suzuki, for the PERFECT Investigators This study is aimed at the evaluation of the efficacy of plaque debulking by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) before drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for bifurcated coronary lesions. The results of this study demonstrated that DCA before DES implantation can possibly avoid complex stenting. This strategy may provide a good long-term outcome in patients with bifurcated lesions.
