Description
Summary:Double kissing (DK) crush stenting for coronary bifurcation lesions has gain popularity worldwide because of its superior randomized studies data and excellent clinical outcomes. This review evaluates all DK crush clinical trials and studies. It also reveals the contemporary technique steps by steps as well as the trouble shooting with illustrated clinical scenarios. Among all the available evidence, the DK crush technique is superior when compared to the provisional stenting technique for complex bifurcation lesion. DK crush stenting provides the best evidence-based approach to complex bifurcation lesions especially the left main coronary artery bifurcation lesions. Future direction of how to make this DK crush technique better is also proposed.
