Abstract

The best treatment strategy for below the knee bifurcation disease is not known. We present first two cases with successful implantation of dedicated coronary bifurcation sirolimus eluting stent BiOSS Lim (Balton, Poland) in complex bifurcation and trifurcation lesions of tibioperoneal trunk. Both implantations were uncomplicated with sustained short-term result at 30-day control Duplex ultrasound and remarkable clinical improvement. Our report demonstrates feasibility and short-term effectiveness of implantation of dedicated coronary bifurcation stent in below-the-knee bi- and tri-furcations.
