title: Treatment of ostial lesions using the Szabo technique: a case series.
abstract: We present a series of 13 cases of stent treatment of a variety of ostial lesions including aortoostial, subclavian-internal mammary artery, and coronary artery bifurcation disease using the double-wire Szabo technique. We discuss relevant technical issues using this technique as well as potential advantages and disadvantages.
