Schematic image depicting the steps of the Szabo 2-stent technique. See detailed explanation in the main text. Guidewires are advanced into the SB (green) and the MV (orange). The SB stent is accurately positioned with anchoring guidewire at the ostial junction (a) (see Online Video 1) and deployed (b) (see Online Video 2). MV is rewired free from strut (c) (see Online Video 3) and SB stent is optimized (d). One strut protrudes into the MV (e) and the MV stent is positioned and deployed (f). MV stent is inflated for proximal optimization technique (g). SB rewiring (h) (see Online Video 4) and final kissing inflation (i) (see Online Video 5) is performed to achieve final results (j). MV = main vessel; SB = side branch
