Comparing two stent techniques for treating coronary artery bifurcation lesions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two stenting techniques, the crush technique and the culotte technique, for treating bifurcation lesions in patients with coronary artery disease. Using contemporary second-generation drug-eluting stents, the study will evaluate which technique leads to better outcomes in terms of target-lesion failure after one year. Eligible participants will be those with specific types of bifurcation lesions that can be treated with two stents. The study is randomized to ensure unbiased results.
