We report a novel approach to dilating multiple lesions in a coronary artery. Through the same guide and over different wires, a 3.5 mm diameter, 20 mm length, and a 3.0 mm diameter, 90 mm length balloon were simultaneously inflated in a right coronary artery. This approach, which simultaneously tre

## 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
Ischemic preconditioning, defined as a reduction in myocardial ischemia caused by repeated brief episodes of coronary occlusions, is observed during percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTCA). To elucidate the effects of the length of the interval between consecutive balloon inflations on
