Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate and long-term angi ographic and clinical results of coronary stenting of bifurcation lesions u sing the "T" or "reverse Y" configuration with a Wiktor GX stent. This seri es demonstrates that stents can be placed with a high rate of success in co ronary bifurcation lesions and the techniques described will overcome the p otential limitations of coronary angioplasty in such lesions.
