This document describes the treatment of a 69-year old man with distal left main coronary artery trifurcation lesion using a two stent strategy. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCX) employing a T-stenting technique. This involved deploying a stent in the LAD, followed by a second stent placed from the left main artery to the LCX, overlapping the first stent. This resulted in successful treatment of the complex distal left main trifurcation lesion.
