摘要篇首： Bifurcation lesions are still technically challenging even in the era of modern stents.1 High incidence of restenosis both in main vessel and side branch limits the long-term prognosis although several kinds of techniques have been identified to be successful for coronary bifurcations.2-5 Reports have demonstrated the main reason for higher incidence of ostial side branch even though drug-eluting stent used in side vessel lies in that there were gaps in metal coverage and drug application.6-9 Therefore, new technique ensuring complete vessel scaffolding without gaps in drug delivery at the bifurcation is crush technique which is similar to other techniques including T- and Y- stenting still needing postdilatation of kissing balloon angioplasty to expand the stent fully in the ostial side branch and to prevent stent distortion in main vessel.10 As a result, kissing balloon angioplasty is a key step to improve the final result and to reduce the restenosis after stenting bifurcation lesions. However, kissing angioplasty is difficult to be underwent or impossible because operators usually fail to rewire two layers of metal strut, which would result in suboptimal stent deployment, a main reason of high incidence of restenosis, and acute- or-late-thrombosus. The present study reports modified DK crush technique improving success rate of kissing balloon angioplasty under the guidance of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
