SCAI Bifurcation Club Webinar Series: Procedural Approaches and Techniques for Complex Lesions-DK Culotte: How is it Different?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the DK (Double Kissing) culotte technique for treating dilation in the gilled non-stented branch, which causes deformation in the stem. The video explains that the traditional method of correcting this deformation is through kissing dilation, but there is uncertainty in rewiring while the stent is deformed. The DK culotte technique solves this problem by adapting the first stent to future deformations and using the steps of provisional approach for both branches. The video shows comparisons and bench assessments of the traditional culotte technique and the DK culotte technique, highlighting the advantages of the latter. Intravascular imaging is also recommended for confirming proper rewiring and minimizing neocarina. Credits: Dr. Toth
