There is disclosed a method of stent placement which comprises first
guiding a guidewire through the vasculature. Second, a balloon catheter
which contains two guidewire lumens is strung along the guidewire into
position at the bifurcation. The distal opening of the second guidewire
lumen abuts the proximal end of the bifurcation. Thereafter, a second
guidewire is strung through the first balloon catheter and out the distal
opening of the second guidewire lumen. Thus, resident in the second
bifurcation leg is the second guidewire. Then, a second standard stent
delivery balloon catheter is guided along the second guidewire to a
position within the bifurcation. Typically, expansion of both stents can
be done one right after the other after proper placement of the first and
second balloons.
