Minicrush Versus Culotte Stenting in Complex Coronary Bifurcation Lesions:The Multicenter T-REX II Registry

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Minicrush: The Minicrush and Culotte techniques were performed as upfront two-stent strategies according to standard protocols focusing on minimal side-branch stent protrusion and carina reconstruction, respectively.

Study summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of complex coronary bifurcation lesions frequently requires an upfront two-stent strategy. While the double kissing crush technique has been extensively studied, limited contemporary data are available comparing alternative two-stent approaches, particularly Minicrush and T-stenting and Culotte, in complex bifurcation anatomy. This study aimed to compare procedural characteristics and long-term clinical outcomes of Minicrush versus Culotte stenting techniques in patients undergoing PCI for complex coronary bifurcation lesions.
