Abstract
Background: Double-kissing (DK) crush and DK culotte are the recommended 2-stent strategies in true coronary bifurcation lesions. However, it is a matter of curiosity about which of the DK crush and DK culotte stenting techniques will have superior results. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of DK crush and DK culotte stenting in nonleft main coronary artery bifurcation.
Methods: Consecutive patients who received DK crush or DK culotte technique for de novo true nonleft main coronary artery bifurcation lesion were categorized according to which treatment they received. The primary end point of the study was target lesion failure as a composite end point of target lesion revascularization, target vessel myocardial infarction, and cardiac death. Secondary end points were all-cause death and definite stent thrombosis.
Results: A total of 202 patients were categorized as DK crush (101 patients) or DK culotte (101 patients) techniques. The target lesion failure had occurred frequently in the DK crush (10.9%) compared with the DK culotte (3.0%; P=0.028) that was mainly driven by increased target lesion revascularization (9.9% in the DK crush versus 3.0% in the DK culotte; P=0.045). The number of patients with target vessel myocardial infarction (3.0% in the DK crush versus 2.0% in the DK culotte; P=0.651) and cardiac death (1.0% in the DK crush versus 0.0% in the DK culotte; P=0.315) was higher in the DK crush. There were no differences in terms of definite stent thrombosis and all-cause death between groups.
Conclusions: In the present analysis, DK culotte was associated with lower 1-year target lesion failure rates compared with DK crush in true nonleft main coronary artery bifurcations.

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, an American Heart Association journal, focuses on interventional techniques pertaining to coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and vascular disease, with priority placed on original research and on randomized trials and large registry studies. In addition, pharmacological, diagnostic, and pathophysiological aspects of interventional cardiology are given special attention in this online-only journal.
