We report a case of coronary dissection following percutane ous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in which the dissection extended antegrade as well as retrograde info the aortic root. Emergent sfentlng was able fo seal the dissection entry point, resulting in restoration of normal coronary flow and diminution in the degree of aortic dissection.

The objective of this study was to assess the angiographic and clinical outcome of patients with coronary in-stent restenosis treated with balloon angioplasty with provisional stenting. The study included 375 consecutive patients with in-stent restenosis managed with balloon angioplasty alone or com
## Abstract Coronary angioplasty of bifurcation lesions remains a technical challenge and is believed to result in low procedural success associated with the risk of sideβbranch occlusion. Furthermore, longβterm results are associated with a high rate of reintervention. The aim of the study was to
