Stent treatment of coronary artery bifurcation lesions.

In percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), the treatment of bifurcation lesions is a challenge to the interventional cardiologist. PCI operators, in general, use the term coronary artery bifurcation (from latin furca 1⁄4 fork, branch): (i) when a coronary artery divides into two equally important branches or (ii) when a main branch gives away a side branch, which is large enough to be of ha...
