Abstract
We report the case of a patient with unstable refractory angina due to a coronary narrowing because of in-stent restenosis affecting the fir st diagonal, first septal and left anterior descending coronary artery . The lesions were successfully dilated with a conventional balloon ca theter and a triple guide-wire system was placed through the inter-fil aments space of the Stent, to protect and recanalize the branch vessel s involved. The patient evolved well and was discharged asymptomatic.
