6. When
1. Bail-out : Compromised SB during the provisional stenting strategy
-More than 75% SB stenosis with impaired TIMI flow < 3
-Chest pain and ECG changes
-Flow-limiting dissection
-FFR < 0.8 (DK VI trial)
Data from RCTs : Only needed in 5-20%
7. Accepted SB result
Yes
That’s it
No
Rewire-(PTCA/Kissing)-POT
Accepted SB result
That’s it
Bailout 2-stents technique
Provisional
stenting
Yes
No
“Provisional is a philosophy rather than technique”
9. When
2. Elective : Complex bifurcation anatomy with predictors of
important SB compromise
“A Side branch you don’t want to lose”
-Diameter >2.5 mm
-Severe stenosis >5-10 mm beyond ostium
-Unfavourable angle for recrossing

Five Fundamentals of 2-stents strategy
13. Point of the SB
take-off
Not always the
standard one
No overlap
No foreshortening
Hyung Yoo et al.JACC 2017
1-The working view
Need a 3rd eye ? > Intravascular imaging
14. 2-Respect the anatomy
1. The 3 diameters of a bifurcation.
Choosing strategy
DMV= SB > Culotte technique
Kissing balloon size
PMV DMV
SB
Finet et al. Eurointervention.2007
POT balloon size MV stent size
15. 2- Lesion length
SB lesion length
-Longer lesion length> more prone for occlusion,
Favoring 2 stents- strategy
-SB length>73 mm supply 10% myocardial mass
PMV lesion length
- Ensure enough stent length
for POT
PMV DMV DMV lesion length
- Ensure enough stent length
for kissing
SB
2-Respect the anatomy
16. • 3. Bifurcation angle
Hahn et al. Atherosclerosis. 2008 Dec
Bifurcation angle B
-More acute> More prone to SB compromise
-Determine bifurcation strategy
-Determine prognosis (Acute> worse)
B
A
Bifurcation angle A
-More acute> More difficult wiring
and re-crossing
Take care that angle might change after wiring or MV pre-dilatation
2-Respect the anatomy
21. 4-Ideal POT
Correction of mal-apposition in the proximal MB & facilitate rewiring
COBIS II registry: a significant difference in terms of a combined endpoint (MACCE) at 36-month follow-
up in favor of the POT group
22. 4-Ideal POT
• know the shortest available NC balloon 1:1 PMV
• Positioning is crucial ( distal marker opposite to carina)
Proximal optimisation technique in the bench with Kaname stent (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan)
23. 5-Know your tools (Balloons)
Shoulder at marker
Shoulder distal to marker
24. 5- Know your tools (Stents)

35. T-Stenting
• Advantages:
- Suitable for angle 90
- Easy
• Disadvantages:
- Protrusion of SB stent
- Ostial gap (Restenosis)
Latib et al. EuroIntervention 2010
Rarely used nowadays
36. TAP-Technique
• Ensure full ostium coverage
• Bail-out” or Elective
• Create new metallic carina

38. -SB balloon should be deflated last during kissing inflation to avoid distortion by the MB balloon
-If further SB/MB post-dilatation is needed , always finish with kissing/POT

Important Tips
39. Wire Recross
Courtesy of John Ormiston, EBC 2009
Allowing the projection of struts in the ostial segment of
the SB opposite the carina
Re-cross rule
All distal re-cross
Except crush
41. Classic crush (Too much protrusion)
• 7 Fr guiding catheter (2 stents)
• Rate of FKBI failure : 20%
• Failed kiss high rate of ST and ISR
Ormiston et al.JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions,2018
Rarely used nowadays
42. Mini-Crush (Minimal protrusion)
Latib et al. EuroIntervention 2010
• 7 Fr guiding catheter (2 stents)
• Rate of FKBI failure : 20%
• Failed kiss high rate of ST and ISR
Rarely used nowadays
44. DK-Crush
• DK-Crush I : Less TLR and MACE (DK-Crush vs. classic Crush)
• DK-Crush II : Less TLR but not MACE (DK-Crush vs. Provisional T)
• DK-Crush III : Less MACE (DK-Crush vs. Culotte)
• DK-Crush V : Less TLR in LMT (DK-Crush vs. Provisional)
• DK-Crush VIII: Ongoing (IVUS guided vs angiographic guided DK crush)
51. V-Stenting
• Advantages:
- Suitable for normal proximal MB (rare)
- No need for rewiring
- Emergency technique
• Disadvantages:
- Geographic miss in proximal MB
- Large guiding 7 or 8 Fr
Latib et al. EuroIntervention 2010
53. SKS-Technique
• Advantages:
- Suitable for large proximal MB
- No need for rewiring
-Emergency technique
• Disadvantages:
- Large guiding 7 or 8 Fr
- Diaphragmatic membrane
-Challenging dealing with stent failure

55. • Where possible, keep it Simple, Swift and Safe
• Be familiar with 1 or 2 techniques , remember “ The one you know is the better one”
• Angiography is half of the truth and intravascular imaging is the other half
• Know your kit “balloons and stents” and more importantly respect it
• Always POT before re-wiring and re-POT after kiss
