Abstract Background/Introduction Limited data exist regarding procedural strategy and clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main (LM) trifurcation lesion. Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate 1-year clinical outcomes after LM trifurcation PCI comparing different strategies in kissing balloon inflation (KBI). Methods From 1, January, 2011 to 31, March, 2017, patients who underwent LM trifurcation PCI with second generation drug-eluting stent in our center were retrospectively analyzed. They were categorized into single-stent KBT group (KBT in left anterior descending artery [LAD] and left circumflex artery [LCX], or LAD and high lateral branch [HL]) and no-KBT group. Primary endpoint is restenosis in the lesions. Results Among 1301 patients who underwent LM PCI during the study period, 163 patients (12.5%) had a trifurcation lesion. Regarding the number of stents used for the lesions, 1, 2 and 3 stents were used in 75.4%, 22.0% and 2.5%, respectively. Median follow-up period of LM trifurcation patients was 265 days (interquartile range: 81–564). In the no-KBT group (64 patients), 19 patients experienced restenosis of HL and LCX (HL: 8 patients, LCX: 0 patient, and both: 11 patients). In the KBT-group, KBT for LAD and LCX was performed in 47 patients, and of them, 19 patients experienced restenosis of LM-LAD, HL and LCX (HL: 12 patients, LCX: 6 patients and all: 1 patient). On the other hand, in 9 patients with KBT for LAD and HL, there were no restenosis cases at 1-year follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in restenosis rate between the no-KBI and KBT group (29.6% vs. 40.4%, p=0.69). Restenosis rates in each segments Conclusion After LM trifurcation PCI, restenosis rate at 1-year follow-up was high, and no difference between no-KBT and KBT group overall. However, there was no restenosis case in patients with KBT for LAD and HL.
