A 47-year-old male presented with angina and a history of hypertension and smoking. Tests showed T-wave inversion and normal left ventricular function. He underwent bifurcation stenting of a true bifurcation lesion where both the main branch and side branch were significantly narrowed. The current preferred approach for treating non-true bifurcations is provisional stenting of the main vessel with optional stenting of the side branch. A two-stent strategy may be used for large side branches supplying a significant area of myocardium, especially when the side branch arises at a shallow angle.
