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 placement and eliminated erroneous positioning inside or outside the treated bifurcation lesion. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
