Why the study?
Stenting coronary bifurcation lesions leads to higher rates of adverse events due to anatomical complexity, underscoring the need for a stratification system because a single technique does not suit all lesions.

Supports need for bifurcation stratification tools; leaves open optimal techniques pending prospective validation.
Percutaneous coronary intervention using drug-eluting stents for coronary bifurcation lesions is associated with higher rates of in-stent restenosis, myocardial infarction, and revascularisation as compared with non-coronary bifurcation lesions. The increased percentage of suboptimal results after stenting bifurcation lesions is largely, if not always, due to the extreme complexity of the anatomy. Obviously, one weapon (stenting technique) does not suit all enemies (bifurcation lesions with different anatomies), and it underscores the importance of establishing a stratification system.
