Key result
This review proposes an algorithmic approach for the percutaneous treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions based on recently published simplified and comprehensive classifications.
This review provides an algorithmic approach to managing coronary bifurcation lesions using a simplified classification system.
May aid bifurcation PCI planning; extends classifications but remains hypothesis-generating pending validation.
Percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of bifurcation lesions is associated with a lower success rate and increased risk of subacute stent thrombosis and restenosis. The goal of this manuscript is to review the current classification of coronary bifurcation lesions and techniques. An algorithmic approach for the treatment of bifurcation lesions based on the recently published simplified and comprehensive classification is proposed in this manuscript.
