The mini-crush technique is one of the leading 2-stent techniques frequently applied by interventional cardiologists to treat complex bifurcation lesions. In the last 20 years, many technical innovations and iterations of mini-crush technique have been developed, and it maintains its popularity among invasive cardiologists. Moreover, mini-crush and double kissing-crush techniques have been compared in terms of clinical results in both left main and non-left main coronary bifurcation patient populations and no significant difference was found. However, the most important challenges of the mini-crush technique are the rewiring and advancement of a 1:1 non-compliant side-branch balloon after the main branch stent has been implanted.
