SCAI Bifurcation Club Webinar Series: Procedural Approaches and Techniques for Complex Lesions-Case: DK Crush-Step by Step

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Chen presents a case study of a 74-year-old patient with multiple risk factors and heart conditions. The patient undergoes a double kissing crush (DK crush) technique, which involves stenting and balloon inflation to treat blockages in the arteries. Dr. Chen explains the procedure step by step, showing angiography images and IVUS (intravascular ultrasound) stills to demonstrate the progress and success of the technique. The video highlights the importance of proper balloon size, wire placement, and kissing balloon inflation for optimal results. The DK crush procedure proves to be successful in this case, with fully expanded stents and improved blood flow. Credits are given to Dr. Francesco Lavara for contributing imaging. The DK crush technique is praised for its elegance and effectiveness.
