ABSTRACT
In routine coronary angiography, bifurcation lesion is not uncommon. Current practice of dealing with type 4a coronary bifurcation lesions [lesions of main branch without significant lesions of the side branch] may lead to true bifurcation lesions after stenting due to axial plaque redistribution. This series describes an experience with Greek technique for treatment of type 4a bifurcation lesions in 18 patients for primary stenting of main vessel with simultaneous kissing balloon of side branch in an effort to avoid snow plough effect
