Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcation lesions (BL) using 2 stents technique is known to be associated with high rates of procedural failure especially on the side branch (SB) mainly due to stent incomplete apposition. Stent deployment at very high pressure (SDHP) may lead to better stent expansion and apposition. However, SDHP may also be at the origin of deeper wall injury resulting into major cardiac adverse events. No data are available on evaluation of SDHP in BL treated by a mini-crush stent technique.
Methods: One hundred and thirteen consecutive patients underwent PCI for BL (Medina 1, 1, 1) using a mini-crush stent technique with SDHP defined as ≥20atm. An angiographic follow-up was performed at 6 month and clinical follow-up was obtained at a median of 3 years.
Results: Stent deployment mean pressures were 20±1.4atm (range 20-25) in the main vessel (MV) and 20±1.5atm (range 20-25) in SB. Simultaneous final kissing balloon was used in 92% of cases. PCI was successful in 100%. Angiographic follow-up was obtained in 83% of patients. Restenosis rate was 13% (12% restenosis in the SB) with only one case (0.8%) of SB probable thrombosis. Another case of late stent thrombosis occurred at a 3 years clinical follow-up.
Conclusion: Compared with previously published studies in which stents were deployed at lower pressure, SDHP does not increase the restenosis rate in BL using mini-crush stent technique but seems to reduce the rate of stent thrombosis.

Necessity sequential intermediate kissing balloon dilation for crush stenting: Further insights from metal/polymer vessel scaffolds bench testing.

Article Synopsis
- Sequential intermediate kissing balloon dilation (sIKBD) improves the effectiveness of crush stenting, but optimal procedures for its use are still uncertain.
- This study assessed the impact of sIKBD on mini-crush stenting (mini-CS) using different types of stents in bifurcation models and employed advanced imaging techniques for analysis.
- Results indicated that incorporating sIKBD led to better outcomes, including reduced stent malapposition and less stenosis in side-branches, particularly with metal drug-eluting stents compared to bioresorbable scaffolds.

Background: Mini-crush (MC) and T-stenting and small protrusion (TAP) techniques are frequently used, but the long-term comparison of both techniques in patients with complex bifurcation lesions (CBLs) is still a debatable issue. This study sought to retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcomes of MC and TAP techniques in patients with CBLs.
Methods: A total of 271 patients [male: 202 (78.

Heart Center, University Hospital Gent, Gent, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- The double-kiss mini-crush (DKMC) technique has been effectively used for treating complex coronary artery lesions, including challenging left main lesions.
- This case report demonstrates that the DKMC technique can also be applied to complex renal artery lesions, showing its versatility beyond coronary use.
- Creative thinking and applying coronary stenting procedures in new ways could lead to innovative solutions for tough cases of in-stent restenosis in the renal circulation.

Comparison of clinical outcomes of double kissing crush (DKC) and mini-crush (MC) techniques in patients with complex coronary bifurcation lesions is lacking. This study sought to determine the clinical results of DKC and MC stenting techniques in mid-term follow-up. This retrospective study included a total of 269 consecutive patients with complex bifurcation lesions who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention; 132 (49%) of them were treated with MC technique, whereas 137 (51%) treated with DKC technique.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of a double stent scaffold strategy in patients with left main (LM) bifurcation lesions involving the ostium of the left circumflex artery (LCX), utilizing a drug-eluting stent (DES) in the LM extending into the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) in the LCX ostium.
Background: The high occurrence of in-stent restenosis of the LCX ostium is the major limitation of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for LM lesions with a two-stent strategy.
Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, single-arm study of 46 consecutively enrolled patients with a stable coronary artery disease and significant unprotected LM distal bifurcation disease.
