Figure 3 (a-c). The "kissing-stent" technique is indicated for the aortic bifurcation or common iliac artery stenoses in order to avoid a "spill-over" effect. Ballooning of only one iliac stenosis may compromise flow to the other leg (a). In such cases, two balloon expandable stents are being positioned in the aortic bifurcation and inflated simultaneously, i.e. "kissing" each other. Note the "waist" of the stent-balloons at the origin of both common iliacs at low inflation pressure (3-4 Atm) (b) disappearing at high pressure (8 Atm) (c).
