Conclusion • CRUSH and CULOTTE bifurcation stenting using sirolimus eluting stents were associated with low rates of restenosis at eight months angiographic follow-up • The few restenoses were primarily located in side branches treated with the CRUSH technique • The CULOTTE bifurcation stenting technique was associated with a single digit restenosis rate and may be preferred in suitable bifurcation anatomies • Extended follow-up needed to evaluate the safety of the investigated two-stent bifurcation techniques
