In patients undergoing percutaneous treatment for bifurcation lesions, both stent volume and symmetry are reduced in the main vessel by side branch dilatation. But finalizing the procedure with ...

The goal of the trial was to evaluate the routine use of the "crush" technique compared with provisional side-branch T-stenting for the treatment of coronary bifurcations. After diagnostic coronary ...

For the first time in a randomized trial, a 2-stent approach to coronary bifurcation lesions—specifically the double kissing crush technique—has reduced restenosis compared with provisional stenting.

Among 484 patients randomly assigned to DK crush stenting or provisional stenting, the respective rates of TLF (a composite of cardiac death, target vessel MI, and/or target lesion revascularization) ...
