Influence of Plaque Characteristics on Stent Biomechanical Outcomes - A Case Study on Double Kissing Crush Coronary Stenting

Andrea Colombo, Dario Carbonarob, Mingzi Zhang +5

Background Double Kissing (DK) Crush is a two-stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions, yet the biomechanical influence of plaque on its performance remains poorly…

Mechanistic Insights Into How Rewiring and Bifurcation Angle Affect DK-Crush Stent Deployment

Andrea Colombo, Dario Carbonaro, Mingzi Zhang +4

Background Double Kissing Crush (DKC) is a preferred two-stent technique for complex coronary bifurcation lesions. Proximal cell rewiring is routinely recommended to reduce technic…

Sex-Specific Variances in Anatomy and Blood Flow of the Left Main Coronary Bifurcation: Implications for Coronary Artery Disease Risk

Ramtin Gharleghi, Mingzi Zhang, Dona Adikari +7

Studies have shown marked sex disparities in Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) epidemiology, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We explored sex disparities in the coronary…
