["Kissing balloon" of the protected common trunk of the left coronary artery: description of a successfully treated case].
The authors describe a case of coronary angioplasty on a distal Left Main coronary lesion. The left coronary tree was protected by the left internal mammary connected to left anterior descending artery. The procedure was performed using the "kissing balloon" technique, with a single guiding catheter. Immediate angiographic result and one-year follow-up have been excellent.
