Double-wire angioplasty of the right coronary artery bifurcational stenosis.

Two cases of distal right coronary artery (RCA) bifurcational stenoses involving ostia of the posterolateral (PLA) and the posterior descending (PDA) branches in patients who underwent successful coronary angioplasty using a double-wire technique are reported. A single guiding catheter and sequential balloon inflations were utilized in one, and two guiding catheters and simultaneous balloon inflations in the other. The indications, techniques, and outcomes are described.
