CONCLUSION

  • The “mini-crush” technique may be considered a very good refiniment of the crush technique
  • Experimental bench work, as well as IVUS and OCT first clinical applications showed excellent results
  • The application of this technique in the clinical setting of both bifurcation and trifurcation lesions proved to be very promising
  • Now may be the time of a clinical multicenter randomized study!
