Bifurcation stent and delivery system

A device, comprising:

• a balloon catheter for accessing an internal volume of an artery that is divided into a first and second branch, the balloon catheter comprising a first catheter tube, a first balloon and a first stent, the first catheter tube, the first balloon and the first stent each having an opening;
• a first guide-wire for advancing the balloon catheter to a site of plaque buildup substantially near the first and second branch, such that the balloon catheter is substantially at the center of the plaque buildup in the first branch;
• a second guide-wire that is advanced through the first catheter tube to a position substantially near the center of the first balloon;
• at least one metal radio-opaque marker on the balloon catheter that is used as a guide to align the openings in the first catheter tube, the first balloon and the first stent, respectively, with an opening to the second branch;
• wherein the second guide-wire is advanced into the second branch through the openings in the first catheter tube, first balloon and first stent;
• wherein the first balloon is inflated to deploy the first stent, and then the first balloon is deflated;
• a third guide-wire that is advanced into the second branch;
• a second balloon catheter that is advanced using the third guide-wire to the second branch through the first stent, the second balloon catheter comprising a second catheter tube, a second balloon and a second stent;
• a fourth guide wire that is advanced into the first branch;
• a third balloon catheter that is advanced using the fourth guide wire to the site of the previously deployed first stent in the first branch, which comprises a third catheter tube and a third balloon;
• wherein when the second and the third balloons are inflated, whereby the second stent is deployed in the second branch;
• and
• wherein the second and third balloons are deflated and removed from the internal volume.
