TCTAP C-066 Two-stage Triple Double-kissing Crush Technique in a Patient with Multiple Bifurcation Lesions

Seeing double: the double kissing crush stenting technique for coronary bifurcation lesions

Optical coherence tomography assessment of a complex bifurcation lesion treated with double kissing Crush technique

The DEFINITION (Impact of the complexity of bifurcation lesions treated with drug-eluting stents) study has provided a novel classification to evaluate the complexity of coronary bifurcation lesion according to coronary angiography, but angiographic imaging due to its low resolution and inherited limitation may result in an inaccurate adjudication.We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to f...

Clinical Outcome of Double Kissing Crush Versus Provisional Stenting of Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions

BACKGROUND Provisional stenting is effective for anatomic simple bifurcation lesions. Double kissing crush stenting reduces the 1-year rate of target lesion revascularization. This study aimed to investigate the 5-year clinical results of the DKCRUSH-II study (Randomized Study on Double Kissing Crush Technique Versus Provisional Stenting Technique for Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions). MET...

Bifurcation coronary lesions and the "crush" technique.

aggregometry (LTA) is the most widely reported ex vivo technique to assess aspirin effect in platelets (1–3). With respect to our study potentially underestimating aspirin resistance in patients with unstable coronary syndromes, it should be noted that 23% (n 47) of our percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients were in that category. All of these patients were sensitive to aspirin (4). ...

Study comparing the double kissing (DK) crush with classical crush for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions: the DKCRUSH-1 Bifurcation Study with drug-eluting stents

BACKGROUND Classical crush has a lower rate of final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The double kissing (DK) crush technique has the potential to increase the FKBI rate, and no prospective studies on the comparison of classical with DK crush techniques have been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and eleven patients with ...
