Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Interventional Cardiology AB - Bifurcation lesions remain a challenging topic in interventional cardiology, with multiple approaches and strategies for intervention. Bifurcation lesions account for 15% to 20% of coronary stenoses and significantly increase the complexity of intervention exponentially. The 2011 American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines recommend provisional side branch stenting as the initial strategy when the side branch is not large and has mild to moderate disease. If the side branch is large with a high risk of occlusion and a low likelihood of side branch reaccess, then a planned 2-stent strategy is reasonable.
