Complex Bifurcation PCI: Coronary Bifurcation Case Reports
Complex bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) represents one of the most technically demanding areas in interventional cardiology. Bifurcation lesions involve division points of coronary arteries and require precise planning, advanced techniques, and operator expertise to achieve optimal outcomes.
The Complex Bifurcation PCI section of our journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality case reports that highlight innovative strategies, advanced stenting techniques, and real-world clinical experiences in managing complex coronary bifurcation lesions.
Scope of the Section
We welcome submissions focusing on various aspects of bifurcation PCI, including:
-
True bifurcation lesions (Medina classification)
-
Left main coronary artery bifurcation interventions
-
One-stent vs two-stent strategies
-
Double kissing (DK) crush technique
-
Culotte, TAP, and T-stenting techniques
-
Provisional stenting approaches
-
Side branch protection strategies
-
Intravascular imaging-guided bifurcation PCI (IVUS, OCT)
-
Complex and high-risk bifurcation interventions
-
Complications and bailout strategies in bifurcation PCI
Importance of Complex Bifurcation PCI
Bifurcation lesions are associated with higher procedural complexity and risk compared to standard coronary interventions.
Publishing such case reports:
-
Enhances understanding of bifurcation lesion management
-
Demonstrates advanced procedural techniques
-
Improves operator decision-making
-
Contributes to better patient outcomes
