Approximately 15–20% of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are performed to treat coronary bifurcations. These procedures are renowned for being technically challenging and historically have been associated with lower procedural success rates and worse clinical outcomes compared with non-bifurcation lesions.1,2 A bifurcation lesion is a lesion occurring at, or adjacent to, a significant… View more

Bifurcation lesions account for approximately 20–30% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Coronary bifurcation sites are prone to developing obstructive atherosclerotic disease due to turbulent blood flow and change of shear stress. With the complexity of bifurcation lesions, several classification systems have been advocated in order to extablish percutaneous strategies.1–3 In fact… View more

The treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions (BL) is still challenging for interventional cardiologists, due to the relatively high-risk of the side branch (SB) closure and the increased long-term restenosis.1 The idea of a dedicated bifurcation stent (DBS) was proposed as a solution for problems associated with the BL treatment by means of a classical stent.1 Three groups of stents are… View more

Due to anatomical reasons and the distributive function of the coronary tree, bifurcation sites are prone to the development of atherosclerotic lesions as a result of flow turbulence generating pro-atherogenous low wall shear stress (WSS). Over the past few years, coronary bifurcation lesions have been the subject of intense therapeutic discussions fuelled by new definitions, classifications … View more

FFR Guided Treatment Of Significant Bifurcation Lesions
Author(s): Nicolas M Van Mieghem Start date: Dec 08, 2015
During coronary revascularisation involving a main vessel and a side branch, it is unclear whether ballooning of the side branch is a prerequisite for long term clinical success. Coronary physiology techniques such as Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) provide a unique way to scientifically quantify whether a side-branch may need revascularisation following treatment of the main vessel. Frequently it… View more

OCT-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Bifurcation Lesions
Author(s): Luca Longobardo , Alessio Mattesini , Serafina Valente , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery bifurcation lesions are treated in 15–20% of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and are still plagued by worse outcomes.1 This is in spite of recent significant advancements in stent technology in general and in bifurcation stenting techniques in particular. Conventional angiography provides only limited information about bifurcation anatomy, plaque distribution… View more
