Key result
A reverse mini-crush technique using two stents was utilized to treat severe left main stem stenosis resulting from proliferative in-stent restenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery.
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of a reverse mini-crush 2-stent technique for managing complex unprotected left main bifurcation restenosis.
Feasibility of reverse mini-crush shown for complex LM bifurcation ISR in one case; leaves open comparative efficacy in larger series.
The present case report refers to the percutaneous treatment of severe left main stem stenosis as a consequence of proliferative in-stent restenosis of left circumflex coronary with retrograde involvement. A reverse mini-crush technique with 2 stents was described.
