We experienced a successfully treated case who had 99% stenosis with a severe delay of the ostial LAD which bifurcated steeply from the LMT. On treating this extreme situation, we used the newly developed “reversed guidewire” technique, and two Cypher™ stents were deployed as a cullotte‐stent for the LMT bifurcation successfully. The “reversed guidewire” technique is considered to be a useful method for treating of extremely angled bifurcation. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
