Figure 2 A 54-Year-Old Man With Favorable UPLM Distal Bifurcation Lesion
The lesion involves the distal left main vessel (arrow), but there is very little involvement of the ostium of the circumflex (A). A single stent was deployed from the distal left main vessel into the left anterior descending artery (arrow), crossing over the circumflex artery (the crossover technique). Mild plaque shift into the circumflex was treated with a final kissing balloon inflation, providing an excellent angiographic result (B). UPLM = unprotected left main coronary artery.
