Coronary stenting of bifurcation lesions using "T" or "reverse Y" configuration with Wiktor stent.
The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate and long-term angiographic and clinical results of coronary stenting of bifurcation lesions using the "T" or "reverse Y" configuration with a Wiktor GX stent. This series demonstrates that stents can be placed with a high rate of success in coronary bifurcation lesions and the techniques described will overcome the potential limitations of coronary angioplasty in such lesions.
