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.
