- Large side branches
- Diffuse disease
- Significant diameter changes between proximal PV and distal PV or SB

- Removes risk of proximal dissection
- Maximum treatment flexibility for complex anatomy
- Disadvantages
- Stent number
- Requires high precision placement
- Proximal stent too distal or too proximal to carina
