Culotte stent technique study for Y-shaped heart blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies two different ways of placing stents in Y-shaped blockages in the heart's arteries. It aims to find which technique works best for people who need two stents in that area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a significant narrowing or blockage in a Y-shaped (bifurcation) part of a coronary artery.
- The blockage requires two stents placed using a special technique called Culotte or DK Culotte.
- You have not had a stent placed in that same bifurcation area before.

This study compares two different ways of placing two drug-eluting stents for new (de novo) coronary artery blockages that split into two branches. It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective technique for patients with specific coronary anatomy.
This study compares two stent-placing techniques for people with a specific type of complex heart blockage at a branch point. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for opening up the artery.
This study compares two ways to place stents in complex blockages where heart arteries branch, to see which works better. It may help you if you have this type of blockage.
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
This trial compares two ways to open a specific type of heart blockage that involves both a main artery and a side branch. It tests whether using a drug-coated balloon (“hybrid strategy”) works as well as using a planned two-stent approach (“stepwise provisional strategy”).
