Abstract
Treating unprotected left main disease and degenerated saphenous vein grafts by percutaneous intervention remains one of the more challenging situations facing interventional cardiologists. We present two cases showing how the use of sirolimus-eluting stents in combination with other novel techniques might alter treatment paradigms in the future.
