[The kissing balloon in angioplasty of coronary stenosis involving the bifurcation of a major branch].
A case of severe effort angina treated with Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) is described. The critical coronary lesion involved the left anterior descending coronary artery and the origin of a first diagonal branch. The "kissing balloon" technique was used. After a year, the immediate positive angiographic results remained unchanged.
