## Abstract Coronary angioplasty of bifurcation lesions remains a technical challenge and is believed to result in low procedural success associated with the risk of side‐branch occlusion. Furthermore, long‐term results are associated with a high rate of reintervention. The aim of the study was to

We report on a new technique of stenting a bifurcation lesion. A manually bent 180°hinged slotted tube stent was implanted using the kissing balloon technique (resembling two trouser legs). In addition, the proximal part of the main vessel was covered with a stent mounted on two balloons correspondi
## Abstract We report a new stenting technique employed in 20 consecutive patients to treat true bifurcation lesions using the Cypher stent (Cordis, Warren, NJ). Both stents are advanced at the site of the bifurcation. The proximal marker of the side‐branch stent must be situated in the main branch
Despite operator experience and improved catheter technology, acute vessel closure is inherently associated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of complex lesions, This case study descrlbes a patient who developed an occlusive dissection post PTCA at the bifurcation of the lef
