Bifurcation occurs when the atherosclerotic plaque involves the origin of two separate arteries.
 
==Example==
Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting bifurcation of a left coronary artery lesion.  Encircled in yellow in the image on the right is the bifurcated lesion.  Note that the lesion at the bifurcation has a "mercedes" like shape which is outlined in yellow in the picture on the right.
