First half of DK-Crush technique for bailout stenting of a true 0,0,1 bifurcation

09 Dec 2022

Stent implantation is largely debated in true 0,0,1 bifurcation lesion. This case shows bailout IVUS-guided stenting of a large diagonal branch after DEB-induced dissection, performed by employing the first half of the DK-Crush technique, thus avoiding stenting in the disease-free left anterior descending artery.
