Abstract

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has revolutionized the management of chronic and acute coronary artery syndrome. In clinical practice, stent delivery failure in complex, tortuous and calcific coronary anatomy is encountered in approximately 2.7-5% of cases, leading to incomplete revascularization and procedural failure. The mother-child technique can be safely and effectively treated with some complex lesions which are uncrossable. This technique permits deep intubation and reach into the coronary artery and facilitates a smooth pathway to the lesion.
