Effect of flecainide on atrial fibrillatory rate in a large animal model with induced atrial fibrillation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Provisional 1-stent technique is currently regarded as the default approach for the majority of bifurcation lesions. Nonetheless, 2-stent techniques may be required for complex bifurcations with high compromise risk or fatal consequences of side branch (SB) occlusion. Limitations exist in current approaches,...
