Kissing balloon angioplasty of a circumflex artery bifurcation lesion. A new approach utilizing two balloon-on-wire probes and a single guiding catheter.
Abstract
A new approach to angioplasty of a coronary artery bifurcation lesion is described. Via a single guiding catheter, two ultra low-profile balloon-on-wire probes were advanced into the AV sulcus branch and a large obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex artery. The balloons were inflated simultaneously. The technique was easy to perform and remarkably effective.
