Representative images of one patient. a Bifurcation lesion of left anterior descending artery (LAD) and first diagonal branch (D1). b First kissing inflation of the stent balloon (12Â atm) and balloon (6Â atm); c Second kissing inflation of D1 balloon (6Â atm) and a noncompliant 3.5Â *Â 15Â mm balloon at the bifurcation core (20Â atm); d Proximal optimization technique; e Final coronary angiogram and its complete stent apposition and good stent symmetry in both distal (g) and proximal (h) stent segments
