Abstract:
The double-kiss mini-crush (DKMC) technique has been successfully deployed in the past for the treatment of complex coronary lesions even for left main lesions. Our case report consists of a proof-of-principle that the DKMC technique can be successfully translated as well to the field of complex renal artery lesions. Insightful thinking out-of-the "coronary" box in concert with skillful off-label application of coronary stenting procedures may open the gate for unprecedented opportunities for the treatment of difficult-to-tackle in-stent restenosis in the renal circulation.
