title: [Results of coronary angioplasty in coronary bifurcation. Report of 61 cases].
abstract: These are the results of 61 bifurcations treated by percutaneous coronary angioplasty in 50 patients (41 males, 9 females) between 1998 and 2003. Bifurcation stenosis, dominated by type I of bifurcation classification. Global restenosis rate was 20% and didn't concern any case of kissing balloon. Restenosis rate in bifunction angioplasty is similar to that of the other sites; besides, it's twice more important when we stent both of the principal and collateral arteries unless we did kissing balloon. Te interventional treatment of bifurcation stenosis is feasible, with restenosis rate similar to the other types of lesions if we proceed systematicaly to kissing balloon.
