If you use a crush technique it should not be a DK Crush
Author: Vladimir Dzavik, MD, PhD, FRCPC, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI, Toronto General Hospital, Canada
Disclosures:
- I have performed DK crush live cases at Shaoling Chen’s CBS course
A modified Balloon Crush Approach Improves Side Branch Access and Side Branch Stent Apposition during Crush Stenting of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
Summary:
- The DK crush technique is a great technique but should not be the default crush technique in all cases and for all operators when a planned 2-stent technique is planned
- Other crush techniques may provide results that are comparable.
- Head-to-head studies are needed
