(A) A patient with a typical (1,1,1) CBL (red circle) according to Medina’s classification, located at the left anterior descending artery (MB) and the first diagonal branch (SB), underwent (B) wiring of the SB and MB and stenting of the first SB with a relatively long protrusion of the SB stent into the PMV and then (C) ballooning of the side-hole of the SB stent and stenting of the MB and (D) advancing of the deflated balloon in the MB, followed by rewiring of the SB at a point close to the carina and then performing a FKBI. (E) Final outcome of the stenting is indicated. CBL, coronary bifurcation lesions; MB, main branch; SB, side branch.
