In this 69-year-old patient, a complex left main quadrifurcation lesion was treated with a stentless procedure, which resulted in sufficient dilation in each branch. Dual-antiplatelet therapy was continued for 3 months, followed by aspirin alone. The stentless treatment with DCB after sufficient plaque debulking with DCA can be useful in avoiding long-term dual antiplatelet therapy especially in patients with high-bleeding risk or those who plan to undergo the non-cardiac operation.
