Abstract:
Conventional techniques of coronary angioplasty for lesions at coronary bifurcations are well documented, are sometimes cumbersome, and have inherent limitations. We describe a technique for sequential atherectomy at coronary bifurcations. Further evaluation is needed to determine the overall safety, efficacy, applicability and durability of sequential directional atherectomy at coronary bifurcations.
