We present a case to illustrate a new stent design that specifically allows treatment of bifurcation lesions. The device is the JoStent (JoMed, Rangendingen, Germany). This bare stent is constructed so that at each end the stent mesh has 8 cells making up the circumference, whereas the central porti
We report on a new technique of stenting a bifurcation lesion. A manually bent 180Β°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
The kissing stenting using a new technique in two patients is reported. A stent
## 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
