IVUS-guided DK crush stenting
Angiography-guided DK crush stenting
In the IVUS-guided DK crush stenting group, IVUS will be before side branch stenting, after rewiring side branch, after 1st kissing balloon inflation, after rewiring side branch, after 2nd kissing balloon inflation. For LM bifurcation lesions involving ostial LAD and LCX: minimum stent are (MSA) should be ≥10mm2 (LM), 7 mm2 (LAD), and 6 mm2 (LCX), with stent expansion index ≥90% (CSA≥90% of distal reference lumen area in LCX) and symmetry index >0.8. For non-LM bifurcation lesion involving the MSA should be ≥6 mm2 in the main vessel; and the MSA in the ostial side branch should be ≥5 mm2 and ≥90% of distal reference lumen area; and symmetry index should be >0.8.
In the Angiography-guided DK crush stenting group, stent diameter and length will be selected by visual estimation with a stent/artery ratio of 1.1:1.0. Post-dilation with a noncompliant balloon (balloon/stent diameter=1.0:1.0) inflated at >18 atm will be performed for all lesions. Angiographic success is defined as Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3, residual stenosis <20%, and the absence of ≥Type B dissection.
