Bifurcation lesions may be encountered in approximately 15%-20% of percutaneous coronary interventions. A 2-stent approach is required in up to 30% of these procedures. We describe a novel technique based on a modification of TAP stenting, suitable for procedures where a 2-stent strategy is predetermined.
