Key Points The modified jailed balloon technique (MJBT) is a safe and effective tool for preserving immediate and long‐term side branch (SB) patency when treating true bifurcation lesions. This technique could be routinely implemented, or selectively chosen when the risk of SB occlusion is high and a two‐stent technique is not desirable. A randomized study comparing provisional stenting with the MJBT versus systematic two‐stent strategy for the treatment of true bifurcation lesions is warranted.
