According to the DEFINITION criteria ( 20 ), three trials ( 8 , 13 , 18 ) with complex LM bifurcation and a long-term follow-up showed that CV mortality was decreased in patients who used the double-stenting strategy (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.09–1.03, P = 0.05, Figure 6 ) compared with the single stenting strategy, albeit at a marginal significance level.
