OBJECTIVE
To compare mid-term clinical outcome after treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions by
- Crush and
- Culotte
CONCLUSION
- The crush and culotte two-stent techniques were associated with similar 9-month clinical outcome
- Two-stent techniques were associated with a trend for increased MACE rates in shallow angle bifurcations and true bifurcation lesions
- Similar MACE rates for crush and culotte in the subsets of true, non-true bifurcations, wide, and shallow angle lesions
- The crush technique was associated with a trend towards more procedural MIs in angulated lesions
- Always kiss after crush and culotte
