Introduction: Kissing balloon technique with two low-profile catheters (KBT) could be the treatment of choice for diseased infrapopliteal artery bifurcation in critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Report: From April to December 2006, 8 patients with CLI and tibial artery disease located in the infrapopliteal bifurcation were treated with KBT. Technical success was achieved in all patients without major or minor complications.
Discussion: Angioplasty of the bifurcation of the popliteal and tibio-peroneal trunk using KBT is a safe and effective procedure in CLI.

Long-Term Outcomes of True versus Non-True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions Treated with Bioresorbable Polymer Sirolimus-Eluting Ultimaster Stent under Intravascular Imaging Guidance.

Limited evidence exists regarding the long-term outcomes of true vs. non-true coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) treated with current-generation drug-eluting stents and intravascular imaging guidance. The SCVC (Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic) registry was a prospective, single-center, all-comers registry enrolling 1,727 consecutive patients treated with bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) under complete imaging guidance.

The double-kissing (DK) culotte technique is a modification of the culotte technique that employs initial kissing balloon inflation after first stent implantation. The DK culotte technique may improve strut apposition and procedural outcomes; however, data on its efficacy and safety remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes of bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the DK culotte technique compared with those of the culotte technique in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Article Synopsis
- - Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a cerebrovascular condition marked by narrowing of the internal carotid artery (ICA), with some patients also experiencing stenosis in the external carotid artery (ECA), though this is uncommon.
- - A 48-year-old woman with no prior health issues presented with serious neurological symptoms and imaging revealed significant stenosis in both the ICA and ECA, leading to her diagnosis of MMD.
- - The treatment involved a combination of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with a kissing balloon technique, followed by direct and indirect revascularization, showing potential effectiveness despite ongoing debates on the best treatment sequence.

Background: Bifurcation lesions are associated with higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Aim: To investigate the impact of imaging-guided PCI in a real-world population with coronary bifurcation lesions.
Methods: From the ULTRA-BIFURCAT registry, we compared IVUS vs.
