CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS

Provisional stenting or simple approach has been considered the preferred technique for the percutaneous treatment of most bifurcation lesions

DK-CRUSH V vs EBC MAIN trials

Chen SL et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2017 Nov 28;70(21):2605-2617.

DK-crush 🡪 lower ST (MI) and TLR than provisional stenting

482 patients with true distal LM bifurcation lesions (Medina 1,1,1 or 0,1,1) were randomized to DK-crush vs. provisional stenting

6 of 13

467 patients with true distal LM bifurcation lesions (Medina 1,1,1 or 0,1,1) were randomized to a 2-stent technique vs. provisional stenting

2-stent techniques: 53% culotte, 32% T/TAP, 5% DK-crush

1-year primary endpoint (death, MI, TLR): similar between the 2 strategies

HR 0.8, 95% CI (0.5–1.3); p=0.34

Procedural metrics favored the provisional approach

Provisional should remain the default approach for distal LM PCI
