Circumferential Strut Fracture as a Mechanism of “Crush” Bifurcation Restenosis

Published:January 04, 2013DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2012.11.030
      The “Crush” procedure is a 2-stent technique for the treatment of bifurcation lesions with greater rates of in-stent restenosis than the Culotte technique. In conclusion, we report a possible mechanism for this discrepancy in the case of severe Crush stent fracture with associated focal restenosis identified by postmortem microcomputed tomography and histologic examination.
