Abstract
Despite a decade of extensive research and clinical insights, percutaneous coronary intervention strategies for coronary bifurcation lesions have remained a challenging and highly debated area. This article presents a review of the latest findings and advances in defining and classifying coronary bifurcation lesions, in vitro studies, intracoronary imaging, stenting strategies, and the deployment of drug-coated balloons. Based on current evidence, this review provides recommendations for interventional cardiologists to develop individualized interventional strategies and enhance the efficiency of stenting procedures.
