None:
Coronary bifurcation lesions are some of the most challenging and frequently encountered lesions in interventional practice, representing nearly 20% of all percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. Quite often we find difficulty in stenting the side branch inspite of repeated dilatations; this may occur due to angulation of the side branch. We postulate a innovative technique where main branch balloon is used to align the side branch stent. This "shoulder lift" technique may be helpful in stenting difficult side branches in bifurcation interventions.

Mechanism of Breathing III: The Accessory Muscles
The respiratory system is a complex network that relies on primary respiratory muscles like the diaphragm, but also involves accessory muscles to enhance lung expansion and airflow during both inhalation and exhalation.
Enhancing Inhalation with Accessory Muscles:
Accessory muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid, scalene, intercostal, and abdominal muscles are crucial when additional respiratory effort is required, such as during deep...
