Culotte-Three Ways-Single Cell DK Culotte

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a modified technique called the single-cell double kissing coulotte technique for treating bifurcation lesions in the coronary arteries. The technique is explained using a case of an 83-year-old male with a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The video shows angiogram images of the patient's coronary arteries, highlighting severe distal left main disease and osteo-LAD and osteo-circumflex disease. The video goes on to explain the steps of the single-cell double kissing coulotte technique, which involves preparing the stents outside the guide catheter and advancing them into the coronary arteries. The advantages of this technique include maintaining wire access in the main branch throughout the procedure, improved efficiency, and accurate carinal positioning. The video also discusses the limitations of the technique, such as the bulkiness of the stents and balloons used and the need for careful crimping. The technique is considered suitable for well-prepared left main bifurcation lesions and may not work with ultra-thin stent struts. No specific credits are mentioned in the video.
