Abstract:
Stent implantation in the treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions frequently impairs blood flow and gives the coronary tree a new, metallic configuration. The new technique we describe uses a single short stent in a "skirt" shape which produces no "jailing" effects and can be used in the treatment of true coronary Y-shaped bifurcation lesions.
