In this COMPLETE randomized trial, using the contemporary second-generation drug-eluting stent, we aimed to test whether the crush technique is superior to the culotte technique for the treatment of bifurcation lesions in terms of 1-year target-lesion failure.

RECRUITINGTarget lesion failure
The composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction or clinically driven target lesion revascularization
Time frame: 1 year
Cardiovascular death
Death resulting from cardiovascular causes.
Time frame: 1 year
Target vessel myocardial infarction
The definition of myocardial infarction followed the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction and The Academic Research Consortium-2 Consensus Document.
Time frame: 1 year
Clinically driven target-lesion revascularization
a repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion.
Time frame: 1 year
All-cause of death
Time frame: 1 year
Target-vessel or non-target vessel myocardial infarction
The definition of myocardial infarction followed the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction and The Academic Research Consortium-2 Consensus Document.
Time frame: 1 year
Definite or probable stent thrombosis
Stent thrombosis is defined according to the Academic Research Consortium definition
Time frame: 1 year
