Structured PICO

What role do bifurcation angles play in coronary bifurcation intervention?

I
Intervention
Coronary bifurcation intervention/stenting

This review highlights the importance of bifurcation angles in coronary bifurcation interventions, affecting hemodynamics, side branch compromise, and clinical outcomes, while noting areas needing further research.

Limitations

  • Accurate and comprehensive measurement of bifurcation angles remains to be clarified
  • Exact influence on post-PCI effects and clinical outcomes is not fully elucidated
  • Results of previous studies remain controversial

Cite This Study

Zhang et al. (2015) conducted a review in Coronary bifurcation lesions. Coronary bifurcation intervention was evaluated. Bifurcation angles play a key role in coronary bifurcation intervention by impacting atherosclerosis proliferation, side branch compromise, and long-term clinical outcomes.
