Lower Silesia Culotte Bifurcation Registry (LSCBR).
The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of bifurcation PCI using two techniques (Culotte vs. DK-Culotte) using data from a retrospective analysis.
- EligibilityCriteria: Inclusion Criteria:  Presence of significant changes in the coronary bifurcation requiring the implantation of two coronary stents using the Culotte or DK Culotte technique.  Exclusion Criteria:  Patients who underwent PCI with coronary stents prior to the index procedure for the bifurcation lesion studied. - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - StdAgeList: Adult, Older Adult - StudyPopulation: The study includes a retrospective analysis of subjects who underwent PCI in two cooperative cardiac centers in the Lower Silesia region between April 2012 and January 2024. Data from the participating centers on all PCIs performed during these periods were prescreened for bifurcation lesions with subsequent implantation of two stents using the Culotte technique or the DK-Culotte technique. The indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was based on the judgment of the cardiac team or on a specific clinical indication (persistent ischemia, unwillingness to accept alternative treatment options, presence of significant angiographic CAD suitable for PCI). The decision to perform PCI with the two-stent technique was left to the operator's judgment based on clinical and angiographic characteristics. - SamplingMethod: Non-Probability Sample
