The use of a drug-eluting stent (DES) has strongly limited the incidence of in-stent restenosis in bifurcation lesions; nevertheless, restenosis still remains a problem at the origin of the bifurcation side branch. The aim of this study is to analyze the consequences of the kissing postdilatation technique on 5 DESs, using microfocus x-ray computerized tomography and scanning electron microscopy.
