From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with a significant narrowing at a branching point of a heart artery. These patients need two stents placed there, with the Culotte or DK Culotte technique.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- A significant change in a coronary bifurcation (a branching point of a heart artery) that needs two coronary stents.
- Earlier treatment
- People who had a coronary stent procedure (PCI) on the studied bifurcation lesion before this procedure cannot join.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Earlier PCI with coronary stents on the studied bifurcation lesion before the index procedure

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of bifurcation PCI using two techniques (Culotte vs. DK-Culotte) using data from a retrospective analysis.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Culotte Group
Data regarding patient with performed PCI- bifurcation with subsequent implantation of two stents using the Culotte technique
Treatment: Bifurcation PCI with two stent technique Culotte Technique or Double Kiss (DK) Culotte
- Double Kiss (DK) Culotte Group
Data regarding patient with performed PCI- bifurcation with subsequent implantation of two stents using the Double Kiss- Culotte technique. DK-Culotte technique is a variety of classical "Culotte techniques" in which one additional kissing balloon dilation is performed just after SB stenting, and prior to MB stent implantation.
Treatment: Bifurcation PCI with two stent technique Culotte Technique or Double Kiss (DK) Culotte
