The Reverse T-stenting And Minimal Protrusion (Reverse TAP) is an up-front 2-stent technique that treats complex coronary bifurcation. Compared to crush techniques, it does not require crushing of the side branch stent but only minimal protrusion of the side branch stent before main vessel stenting. Nowadays, no studies compare the Reverse-TAP and the External Minicrush in treating complex coronary bifurcation, so eventually, procedural, clinical and safety differences remain unknown.
