The 14th consensus document from the European Bifurcation Club reinforces the recommendation for a sequential provisional approach to PCI for obstructive bifurcation lesions.
Endorses sequential provisional stenting as first-line for most bifurcation PCI; reinforces European Bifurcation Club consensus.
The European Bifurcation Club recommends an approach to a bifurcation stenosis which involves careful assessment, planning and a sequential provisional approach. In the minority of lesions where two stents are required, careful deployment and optimal expansion are essential to achieve a long-term result.

Banning et al. (2019) studied this question. Percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation stenosis should primarily utilize a sequential provisional approach, reserving two-stent strategies for a minority of lesions.
