Conclusions (1)Conclusions (1)
• Both crush and culotte stent techniques using sirolimus-eluting stents in bifurcation lesions were performed with high and similar success rates
• There was a low and similar incidence of cardiac death, TVR and stentthrombosis in the two treatment groups
![Page 25: The Nordic Bifurcation Stent Technique Study A … Nordic Bifurcation Stent Technique Study A Randomized trial of CRUSH vs CULOTTE Stenting Pål Gunnes, Matti Niemela, Kari Kervinen,](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021822/5b193a817f8b9a23258c7c38/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions (2)
• CRUSH and CULOTTE bifurcation stenting using sirolimus eluting stents were associated with low rates of restenosis at eight months angiographic follow-up
• The few restenoses were primarily located in side branches treated with the CRUSH technique
• The CULOTTE bifurcation stenting technique was associated with a single digit restenosis rate and may be preferred in suitable bifurcation anatomies
• Extended follow-up needed to evaluate the safety of the investigated two-stent bifurcation techniques
