Abstract
A 75 old diabetic, hypertensive subject with chronic kidney disease stage V (on haemodialysis) had Acute Coronary Syndrome. Coronary angiography revealed bifurcation lesion of the distal Left Main Coronary Artery involving the origins of LAD & LCx, CABG was denied because of comorbidites, old age and unwillingness of the patient to face the risk of surgery. The LM bifurcation was treated in "Mini-Crush technique" resulting in TIMI-III flow and there was uneventful post-interventional recovery without MACE.
