Overview
Bifurcation lesions occur when the atherosclerotic plaque involves the origin of two separate arteries. Bifurcation lesions in coronary artery disease (CAD) are common, encompassing 15-18% of lesions treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The optimal treatment for these lesions is subject to intense debate; current practice includes a variety of approaches.
