Coronary angiography illustrating the modified balloon-stent kissing technique. a: The angiogram demonstrates severe stenosis at simple true bifurcation segment (Medina 1,1,1). b: A balloon that is sized to the reference vessel diameter of SB (2.5 mm) is advanced into the SB. A stent (3.5 mm) is then advanced into correct position over the target lesion in the MV. c: The jailed SB balloon is inflated to 6 atm, meanwhile, the stent in MV is deployed to 8 atm. d: The stent balloon is fully expanded to 12 atm. e: The SB is rewired followed by POT (4.0 mm non-compliant balloon). f: No residual stenosis both in MV and SB in final angiogram
