Abstract:
A case of unprotected bifurcation left main disease treated on 2 occasions by angioplasty and stenting is presented. This case demonstrates the 2 main features of salvage angioplasty, namely medically refractory rest angina and refused bypass surgery. In addition, it presents short inflation time angioplasty for sole or main conduits and treating the left main as a bifurcation lesion.
