bifurcation lesions; stenting technique
Coronary bifurcation lesions are a challenging lesion subset of coronary
artery obstructive diseases. With the rapid development of stent
platforms, drug-coating techniques, a new generation of antiplatelet
therapeutic drugs, intravascular imaging, and a better understanding of
the abnormal flow dynamics around bifurcated areas, patients after
stenting of coronary bifurcation lesions have shown a dramatic reduction
in major adverse cardiac events (MACE). In the last decade, the

to improve clinical outcomes in patients with coronary bifurcation
lesions, as reflected in the annual updated consensus document.
