3. Bifurcation Lesions
Still a Challenge
• Require more time, anxiety,
skill, and equipment (cost)
• Increased complications
peri-procedural MIs,
stent thrombosis, and
restenosis
• Suboptimal angiographic
outcomes (esp. side branch
ostium)

estimation
• Symptoms or objective evidence of
ischemia
• Vessel diameter:
• Main branch: ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 4.0 mm;
• Side branch: ≥ 2.5 mm and ≤ 3.5 mm
• Lesion length:
• Main vessel ≤ 28 mm; Side branch ≤ 5 mm

22. TRYTON Confirmatory Study
Performance Goal: Sample Size Calculation
• Powered Endpoint:

34. TRYTON Confirmatory Study
Conclusions
• The TRYTON Confirmatory Study,
assessing the safety of the TRYTON stent
in the treatment of bifurcation involving
large side branches, met its primary
endpoint (performance goal) related to
peri-procedural MI
• This finding confirms the safety and
efficacy of the TRYTON dedicated
bifurcation stent in the treatment of
bifurcation involving large sides branches

35. TRYTON Confirmatory Study
Conclusions
• In light of the higher procedural success rate,
improved acute angiographic result, and
higher rate of side branch patency at 9-month
follow-up compared to provisional stenting,
the TRYTON Confirmatory Study and the
TRYTON IDE trial support the use of the
dedicated bifurcation TRYTON stent in
conjunction with standard DES in the
treatment of bifurcation lesions involving
large side branches
