Background: The optimal stenting strategy for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) remains uncertain. The present study observed technical feasibility and reliability, 9-month clinical and angiographic outcomes of the modified culotte stenting (MCS) in the treatment of CBLs with drug-eluting stents.
Methods: A total of 34 consecutive patients with CBLs that required stenting the parent vessel (PV), the main branch (MB) and the side branch (SB) were included. All patients were first assigned to receive MCS for CBL interventions (per MCS), and might be switched to receive the double-kissing-crush stenting (DKS) in case of temporally acute branch occlusion (per protocol).
Results: The immediate angiographic or procedural success was achieved in 33/34 (97%) lesions (patients) per MCS, 34/34 (100%) lesions (patients) per protocol with 100% successful final balloon kissing. The long-term clinical success at 9 months was 94% per MCS and 94% per protocol, only 2 patients had reoccurrence of angina but none of them needed target lesion revascularization. There were no procedure-related biomarker elevation, no in-stent thrombosis peri-procedurally and at 9-month follow-up. Quantitative coronary angiography data at 9 months showed that in-stent (6%) or in-segment (6%) binary stenosis was infrequent, and minimal lumen diameter was significantly reduced but late lumen loss was acceptable with only (0.10 ± 0.14) mm for PV, (0.21 ± 0.23) mm for MB and (0.27 ± 0.32) mm for SB.
Conclusions: MCS for treatment of CBLs that required dual-stent implantation was technically easier and safer, readily to complete final balloon kissing, and was associated with high immediate success and optimal 9-month outcomes.

The current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline recommendations give equal consideration to percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and bypass surgery for the treatment of main stem stenosis. Because of the anatomical setting, interventional treatment of main stem stenosis represents a complex PCI procedure. For this reason, extensive planning of the PCI with the use of intravascular imaging is necessary to assess the extent of calcification in the main stem itself and also in the proximal vascular segment of the anterior interventricular branch (left anterior descending, LAD) and the circumflex branch (RCX).

Background: Main vessel (MV) stent deformation and overstretch caused by classical kissing balloon inflation (C-KBI) using two balloons with a longer overlapping in the MV for bifurcation lesions has caused a widespread concern.
Purpose: This bench study tested our hypothesis that mini-KBI (M-KBI) with a shorter protrusion of side branch (SB) balloon would ascertain a better result after Culotte stenting.
Methods: Twenty-four coronary stents were deployed using Culotte approach in twelve bifurcation models with a bifurcation angle of 45°, 3.

Aims: This acute in vivo study sought to provide insights regarding the feasibility of performing complex bifurcation stenting with Magmaris magnesium alloy bioresorbable scaffolds (Biotronik, Bulach, Switzerland).
Methods And Results: Twenty-five New Zealand White rabbits underwent stenting of non-diseased aorto-iliac bifurcations with the Magmaris using provisional (PS; n=5), culotte (n=6), modified T (n=6), or T and protrusion (TAP, n=8) stenting techniques. Angiography, optical coherence tomography and micro-computed tomography were performed.

Background/purpose: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been recently adopted in many fields of cardiovascular medicine and in interventional cardiology. Using CFD analysis we compared the use of different PCI procedures, with and without the utilization of a proximal optimization technique (POT), on a complex coronary artery bifurcation.
Methods/materials: For the analysis, we considered a hypothetic model of a left anterior descending artery-diagonal Medina 1,1,1 bifurcation type with a diameter of the proximal main branch (MB) and the side branch (SB) set at 3.
