摘要：
A catheter system and method are described for stenting a vessel at abifurcation or sidebranch of the vessel. The catheter system includes a firstballoon catheter, a second balloon catheter and a releasable linking devicefor holding the first and second balloon catheters arranged in a side-by-sideconfiguration and aligned with one another along a longitudinal axis. Thelinking device allows the catheter system to be advanced as a unit and helpsprevent premature or inadvertent dislodgement of the stent from the catheters,yet is releasable so that one or both of the balloon catheters can be releasedfrom the linking device and maneuvered separately from the rest of thecatheter system when desired. The method utilizes the described cathetersystem for stenting bifurcated vessels using a modified "kissing balloons"technique.
