✦ Synopsis

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 left anterior descending artery (LAD) and its diagonal branch. The "T"-shaped wiktor stent placement immediately re-establishes full flow, obviating the necesslty for emergent surgery.

## Abstract This report describes a technique for correct positioning of a stent proximal to a bifurcation lesion treated with V‐stents. A second wire passed through the first cell of a stent, the opposite end of the anchor wire technique as first described by Szabo et al, facilitated precise stent
