Intravascular ultrasound-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in left main coronary bifurcation lesions: a review

Abstract: Drug-eluting stent (DES) intervention is now emerging as an alternative approach for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) other than coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Untreated left main (LM) coronary occlusion is always associated with poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Collective data from numerous worldwide registries and results from randomized Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) trial demonstrated that percutaneous coronary interventi… Show more

“… Culotte technique : 2 stents are deployed at the same time, from the main vessel into each branch with strut opening to each branch by kissing balloon inflation leaving the proximal main vessel covered with two overlapped stents. DK Crush technique: which consists of stenting from the main vessel into the SB, balloon crushing from the MB, kissing balloon inflation, stenting from the main vessel into the MB and final kissing balloon inflation [ 21 23 ]. …”
