ResumoBalloon angioplasty of stenoses involving a bifurcation of coronary arteries carries a significant risk of permanent occlusion of I of the branches. 1 Kissing balloon angioplasty was first described for aortoplasty in the Leriche syndrome. 2 In 1981, Gruentzig introduced it into coronary angioplasty. Two balloons are simultaneously inflated in a diseased vessel bifurcation. This report describes 3 selected patients in which this procedure was performed.
