Is DK Crush the optimal two-stent bifurcation strategy for left main PCI?

17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

In this EuroPCR 2022 session, follow the discussion around the recorded case of a 67-year-old non-smoking male patient who presented with chest pain on exertion typical of angina for one month, and learn how to optimally treat a severely calcified long lesion, understand how imaging can...

Effect of wire jailing at side branch in 1-stent strategy for coronary bifurcation lesions

06 May 2022

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of jailing a wire in the side branch of a bifurcation lesion to prevent side branch compromise during provisional main vessel stenting when a one-stent in bifurcation PCI technique is adopted.

Technical consideration for left main bifurcation in light of evidence

16 Dec 2021 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2021

Watch this session to get proved that provisional side-branch stenting is recommended for the majority of bifurcation lesions, including the LM, that DK-Crush appears to be the best two-stent technique for important SB with complex stenoses, and that imaging and physiology can optimize stenting strategy decision...
