Forty-one patients, mean age 61 +/- 13 years, had stenting of bifurcation coronary artery lesions. Of the 41 patients, a crushing stent was used in 33 patients (80%), a T stent in 6 patients (15%), a kissing stent in 1 patient (2%), and side branch angioplasty in 1 patient (2%). Mean follow-up was 12 months (range 7-17 months). At follow-up, of the 41 patients, none (0%) died, 1 (2%) had a myocardial infarction, 3 (7%) had thrombotic stent occlusion, 3 (7%) had restenosis, 4 (10%) had target lesion revascularization, and 6 (15%) had myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization or had died.
