Intracoronary stenting as a transcatheter treatment for bifurcation stenoses remains
controversial. A novel technique of coronary bifurcation stenting is reported. A 15 mm
Palmaz‐Schatz stent is bent 180° at its bridge articulation into a V‐configuration and
mounted on two balloon‐catheters linked together by adhesive tape. This unified stent
delivery system was used successfully in five cases of porcine coronary bifurcation
stenting.© 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
