Author: Alfredo R. Galassi, MD, Ferrarotto Hospital University of Catania, Italy
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!
