Skirt followed by Trouser stenting technique: true anatomical preservation of coronary Y-shaped bifurcation lesions while using “vanishing” Bioresorbable scaffolds: a report of two cases

We report on two cases in which Y-shaped coronary bifurcations were treated with the use of Bioresorbable scaffolds (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The first case was of a 50years old man, smoker for twenty years with no past chronic illnesses. He presented to emergency department with persistent chest pain. ECG showed T wave inversion in leads I, aVL, V4-V6. Cardiac enzymes where elevated. He was shifted for early coronary intervention, which showed coronary single vessel disease. There was haziness involving a Y-shaped bifurcation of proximal to mid LAD with large diagonal branch (Fig.
