| DK Crush (n=183) | PS (n=183) | P Value* | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | Complex | Simple | Complex | ||
| No. of patients | 151 | 32 | 164 | 19 | |
| MACE | 24 (15.8) | 5 (15.6) | 36 (21.9) | 8 (42.1) | 0.036 |
| Cardiac death | 3 (2.0) | 1 (3.1) | 5 (3.1) | 1 (5.3) | 0.704 |
| MI | 6 (4.0) | 1 (3.1) | 5 (3.1) | 1 (5.3) | 0.704 |
| TLR | 12 (7.9) | 4 (12.5) | 23 (14.0) | 7 (36.8) | 0.041 |
| CABG | 1 (0.7) | 0 | 1 (0.6) | 0 | NS |

| Probable | 0 | 1 (3.1) | 1 (0.6) | 2 (10.6) | 0.168 |
CABG indicates coronary artery bypass grafting; DK, double kissing; MACE, major adverse cardiac event; MI, myocardial infarction; NS, not significant; PS, provisional stenting; ST, stent thrombosis; TLR, target lesion revascularization; and TVR, target vessel revascularization.
