This approach combines provisional crossover stenting, proximal optimization technique, KBT, and prolonged (≥30 s) KBT using a perfusion balloon for the left anterior descending artery and a drug-coated balloon for the left circumflex (LCx) ostium.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A total of 280 patients with stable/unstable angina or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and LCx ostial involvement will be enrolled. The co-primary endpoints are procedural success and major adverse cardiovascular events at 12 months. The JDEPTH-LM Registry will provide clinical data on the safety and efficacy of W-KBT, which may enhance outcomes in LM-PCI involving the LCx ostial lesion.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings could contribute to the optimization of complex LM-PCI strategies in clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":9391,"journal":{"name":"Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13354280/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148004466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
