A 66-year-old male Jehovah’s Witness arrived at the emergency room having experienced typical persistent angina. Upon arrival, he was hemodynamically unstable.

Coronary angiography showed critical left distal main disease with trifurcation lesion to the left anterior descending artery (LAD), ramus intermedius, and left circumflex artery (LCx) (medina 1-1-1-1), and an 80% lesion in the middle segment of the LAD (Figure 2, 3).
