BENCH & COMPUTATIONAL BIFURCATION STENT SIMULATIONS SESSION
DK-Culotte: bench evaluation – Benefits of DK-approach during Culotte stenting
Author: Gabor G. Toth, MD, PhD, University Heart Centre Graz, Austria
Conclusions:
- Double-kissing approach can optimise Culotte technique
Advantages in this technique are seen in terms of:
- Procedural aspects (i.e. duration)
- Final result (i.e. stent apposition)
DK-Culotte may be superior not only to the Culotte technique, but also to the DK-Crush technique
Clinical validation is needed and ongoing.
