Preprocedure reference vessel diameter and minimal lumen diameter (MLD) were 2.68 \u00b1 0.48 and 0.90 \u00b1 0.55 mm for the main branch, respectively and 2.28 \u00b1 0.34 and 1.14 \u00b1 0.47 mm for the side branch, respectively. Postprocedure MLD was 2.56 \u00b1 0.39 mm for the main branch and 2.16 \u00b1 0.29 mm for the side branch. There were no in\u2010hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE). At 72 days after procedure there was one case of side branch stent thrombosis (2.2%), which resulted in non Q\u2010wave MI. Angiographic follow up was obtained in 100% of patients at 7.5 \u00b1 1.3 months. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) was 12.2%; no death and Q\u2010wave MI were observed; reference vessel diameter and MLD for the main branch were 2.79 \u00b1 0.51 and 1.99 \u00b1 0.65 mm respectively and for the side branch 2.28 \u00b1 0.40 and 1.63 \u00b1 0.48 mm respectively. Restenosis rate in the main branch was 12.2% while in the side branch was 2.0%. <jats:styled-content>Conclusions<\/jats:styled-content>: In\u2010hospital outcome indicates that the mini\u2010crush technique for bifurcation lesions with DES can be easily performed. It provides very low total MACE rate and restenosis at 8\u2010month follow\u2010up. These results confirmed the advantage of this specific technique to give complete coverage of the ostium of the side branch using two stents technique. \u00a9 2007 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.21047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,13]],"date-time":"2007-02-13T00:29:10Z","timestamp":1171326550000},"page":"976-983","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Long\u2010term outcomes of bifurcation lesions after implantation of drug\u2010eluting stents with the \u201cmini\u2010crush technique\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Alfredo R.","family":"Galassi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Colombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maurice","family":"Buchbinder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmelo","family":"Grasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salvatore D.","family":"Tomasello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gian P.","family":"Ussia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corrado","family":"Tamburino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000109138.84579.FA"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9149(01)01482-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2005.01.065"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1522-726X(200003)49:3<274::AID-CCD11>3.0.CO;2-N"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2005.05.080"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000118474.71662.E3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2005.11.083"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2005.11.072"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.10622"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2005.05.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","first-page":"149","article-title":"Percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation disease.
