SCA poses a great challenge to interventional cardiologists during PCI, especially in the event of a complication. Detailed anatomical knowledge, appropriate hardware and operator expertise are the key factors for successful PCI of SCA. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case report of bifurcation angioplasty of LAD/RCA in a rare case of SCA. This case also describes the use of reverse crush technique as a bailout strategy during provisional bifurcation angioplasty.
