TAKE HOME MESSAGE

• Avoid SKS for Elective Two-Stent Strategy for Bifurcation Stenosis Because of:
  • Potential for Proximal MB Dissection
  • Difficulty in Treating Instent Restenosis
• Back-up Strategy Must be in Place in Case the First Strategy Fails
• Converting Double Barrel Lumen into Single Lumen in the MB by Serial Balloon Dilatations Feasible and Facilitates Restenting after SKS
