Trifurcation stenting using two guide catheters

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2010 Mar 1;75(4):636-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.22284.

Abstract

Trifurcating coronary artery disease is a complex atherosclerotic process involving the origin of one or more of three side branches arising from a main trunk. The approach to treat trifurcation lesions has not been standardized. We describe a technique to percutaneously treat this lesion using routine day-to-day hardware and a unique two guide catheter technique.
