title: Y-stenting in primary angioplasty of unprotected left main coronary artery.
abstract: Patient presenting with acute lateral wall myocardial infarction was taken up for primary angioplasty. Angiogram revealed a totally occluded left main coronary artery. Thrombosuction revealed a trifurcation with disease at proximal part of all 3 branches. Y-stenting with kissing balloon technique was performed to open anterior descending and ramus branches. Patient was free of angina till 6 months of follow-up. Kissing balloon technique in primary angioplasty of left main artery is reported uncommonly.
