V-stenting (VS) and simultaneously kissing stents (SKS) upfront 2-stent strategies for treating large diameter bifurcations and especially distal left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease. Former teaching suggests that the minimal requirements for VS and SKS requires 8F guiding catheters or 7.5F sheathless guide. Presented is the "2-Step refinement" of SKS and VS that can be executed via conventional 6F guide without any additional equipment. In view of the simplicity and suitability for unstable subjects with acute coronary syndromes; "2 Step SKS and VS" should be in the armamentarium of all advanced interventionalists.
