Double-Kissing Crush Versus Provisional Stenting for Coronary Bifurcations: A 1-Year Follow-up Study in Vietnam.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) present significant challenges in interventional cardiology, especially in low and middle-income countries like Vietnam. While the double-kissing (DK) crush technique is gaining attention for its potential benefits, its efficacy and safety compared with provisional stenting (PS) in the Vietnamese population remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the DK crush technique in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared with those of PS, providing essential data to inform clinical decision-making in settings with limited resources.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 58 patients with CBL, 33 patients undergoing the DK crush technique and 25 receiving PS. Clinical follow-up at
