Abstract Two months after left anterior descending (LAD) artery and left circumflex (LCx) artery bare metal stent implantation, a proliferative subocclusive in‐stent restenosis in LCx coronary with severe LM coronary (LM) involvement developed. The present clinical case describes a simplified strategy for unprotected LM percutaneous coronary intervention using two bioabsorbable biolimus‐eluting stents without involvement of the LAD coronary using an “L” technique. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
