title: Double-wire angioplasty of the right coronary artery bifurcational stenosis.
abstract: Two cases of distal right coronary artery (RCA) bifurcational stenoses involving ostia of the posterolateral (PLA) and the posterior descending (PDA) branches in patients who underwent successful coronary angioplasty using a double-wire technique are reported. A single guiding catheter and sequential balloon inflations were utilized in one, and two guiding catheters and simultaneous balloon inflations in the other. The indications, techniques, and outcomes are described.
