"Crossing balloons:" a new technique for complex angioplasty.
A new technique is described for complex percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of a lesion at the bifurcation of the obtuse marginal branch of the left coronary artery, just distal to a venous bypass graft insertion. Two separate angioplasty guide wire and catheter systems were used and the coronary artery side branch was protected in a "crossing" manner.
