“…Doublekissing crush resulted in a lower risk of the primary endpoint target lesion failure at 1 year compared with provisional stenting. 620 When a two-stent strategy is necessary, which two-stent technique should be preferred is debated. The three most widely used contemporary two-stent techniques are culotte, crush (classic or doublekissing crush), and T and protrusion (TAP).…”

“…The In a subgroup analysis of 659 ACS patients, treatment with the BioFreedom stent remained more effective (clinically driven target-lesion revascularization 3.9 vs. 9.0%, P = 0.009) and safer (cumulative incidence of cardiac death, MI, or definite or probable stent thrombosis 9.3 vs. 18.5%, P = 0.001), driven by significantly lower rates of cardiac mortality (3.4 vs. 6.9%, P = 0.049) and MI (6.9 vs. 13.8%, P = 0.005). 24 As for the SENIOR trial, there was no difference in bleeding complications for the DES and BMS groups.…”

PreambleThe first balloon coronary angioplasty was performed in Zurich by Andreas Grüntzig in 1977. The patient, a 38-year-old man with severe angina and a tight stenosis on the left anterior descending artery, is still alive, is doing well, and he celebrated the 40-year anniversary of his percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in 2017 ( Figure 1). During the last decades, PCI techniques have undergone major improvements with the first real game changer being the introduction of bare metal stents, which made PCI safer and improved longer-term outcomes. Later on, drug-eluting stents (DESs) were introduced, which resulted in a major reduction in restenosis and also-with the newer generation DES-a low rate of stent thrombosis. Further, the introduction of intracoronary pressure measurements for assessment of severity of coronary stenoses [fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR)] and intracoronary imaging [intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT)] for lesion assessment has refined lesion and procedure assessment. Improved outcomes were also fostered by development of better and safer adjunctive antithrombotic drugs and secondary prevention, optimizing drug-device synergy. Still, 40 years later the research in the coronary interventional field is very intense, and we aim here to summarize major developments in PCI published in 2017. Myocardial revascularization Percutaneous coronary intervention techniqueThe SYNTAX (Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) II study investigated the impact of a contemporary PCI strategy on clinical outcomes of 454 patients with three-vessel disease. 1Characteristics of the SYNTAX II strategy that captures all components of today's 'best of PCI practice' are summarized in Figure 2. Following this approach systematically, the authors demonstrated major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 1 year to be much improved with respect to a matched historical PCI cohort from the SYNTAX I trial (10.6% vs. 17.4%; P = 0.006). The better result of the contemporary PCI strategy compared with the procedural technique followed at the time of the SYNTAX I trial was driven by a lower risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and revascularization, with a parallel reduction in stent thrombosis. Overall, the SYNTAX II study suggests that the combination of best practice components in PCI technique portends improved patient outcomes beyond what can be achieved by introducing one single new element. Because these results outperform PCI results obtained in the earlier SYNTAX I trial, the hypothesis was generated that a new randomized study of modern best PCI practice in patients with three-vessel disease might show non-inferiority vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). 1Glimpsing to the future, the feasibility and technical success of robotically-assisted PCI for complex coronary lesions were investigated in 334 procedures from 315 patients included in the Complex Robotically Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (...

“…However, this was challenged recently by the randomized DKCRUSH‐II (Randomized Study on Double Kissing Crush Technique Versus Provisional Stenting Technique for Coronary Artery Bifurcation Lesions), which included ≈17% LM lesions, showing that a 2‐stent strategy using the double kissing (DK) crush technique (Figure ) is superior to provisional stenting particularly in more complex lesions. More recently, a dedicated randomized trial comparing DK crush technique with provisional stenting for left main distal bifurcation lesions (DKCRUSH‐V) demonstrated lower rates of target lesion failure with DK crush technique at 1 year (5% versus 10.7%, P =0.02) and stent thrombosis (0.4% versus 3.3%, P =0.02) . In DKCRUSH‐III, the same investigators showed the superiority of the DK crush technique over culotte at 3 years with significantly lower rates of major adverse cardiac events (8.2% versus 23.7%, P <0.001) and stent thrombosis (0% versus 3.7%, P =0.007) .…”
