Clinical efficacy of different side branch protection techniques on patients receiving coronary intervention and prognostic analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate and analyze the clinical efficacy of different side branch protection techniques on patients receiving coronary intervention and the patient's prognosis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 80 patients with coronary heart disease treated in Jiangmen Central Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017 were collected. According to different side branch protection strategies selected during operation, they were divided into jailed wire technique (JWT) group (n=20), jailed balloon technique (JBT) group (n=20), balloon-stent kissing technique (BSKT) group (n=20), and BSKT+RW group (n=20). The relevant operation parameters and the prevalence of adverse reactions at 1 month and 6 months after operation were compared among the four groups.

RESULTS: The success rate of operation and relevant operation parameters in BSKT+RW group were slightly superior to those in the other three groups, but there were no significant differences among the four groups (p>0.05). Besides, the prevalence rates of adverse reactions at 1 month and 6 months after the operation had no significant differences among the four groups, but they were slightly lower in BSKT+RW group than those in the other three groups.

CONCLUSIONS: There are no significant differences in the clinical efficacy and postoperative recovery of patients receiving coronary intervention among the four kinds of different side branch protection techniques. However, BSKT+RW is slightly superior to the other three treatment methods, which, therefore, is a preferred choice if the patient's economic conditions permit.
