We present a case of kissing drug‐eluting stent deployment in the left main coronary artery in a 43‐year‐old male with failed previous bypass grafting. We discuss the technique used for stent deployment and the rationale for using this technique in the drug‐eluting stent era. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2004;61:206–210. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
