The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Adriaenssens et al.1 report a series of 132 patients in whom 134 coronary bifurcation lesions were treated by implantation of two stents using the Culotte technique. This is of particular interest given that most studies on coronary bifurcation treatment report the results of multiple techniques, which renders any valid interpretation of the outcome difficult to achieve.
