was associated with large periprocedural MI (15% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.02). The rate of MI after SBO
depends on the size of the myocardial territory supplied by the SB and the definition of MI,
hence the wide variability in the reported rate of procedural MI after SBO (7–27%) (17–20).
Furthermore, the concept of “threatened” SB morphologies is important because the incidence of SBO varies widely accordingly to varying morphologies that are also not reflected in
the Medina classification (18,21). In the study by Aliabadi and colleagues (18), SBO occurred in
7.9% of patients without threatened SB morphology versus 80% of patients with threatened SB
morphology [Fig. 5(A) and 5(B)].
The fact that the rate of SBO in the PS arms of the RCTs (10–12) was very low could
mean one of two things: either that the operators, technology, and techniques have improved
so much that the concept of “at risk” bifurcations have become irrelevant and does not impact
SB occlusion rates or that the patients with “at risk” bifurcations were not well represented in
these trials. We propose the latter possibility. In fact, a recent study by Gil et al. (22) have shown
a functional occlusion rate of 17% in consecutive patients treated with PS despite the fact that
only one-thirdof the study population hadtrue bifurcations. Therefore, we think that PS should
not be the default strategy in “at risk” bifurcations that involve a large SB. A case in point is the
patient in Figure 6. This patient has a proximal LAD bifurcation lesion involving a moderate
size diagonal branch. Provisional stenting of this lesion was adopted, although this patient
does not fit the profile of those patients enrolled in the RCTs (SB with severe ostial lesion and
approximately a 90-degree angulation). Despite a jailed wire technique, the SB occluded after
deploying the MV stent and the operator was not able to salvage it despite prolonged attempts
with several wires. The patient suffered an STEMI. In hindsight, did the evidence-base apply to
this patient? The answer is no.
SUMMARY
The currently available evidence-base pertaining to treatment of bifurcation lesions is not adequate to inform decision making in all patients with bifurcation lesions, hence a gap still exists
between the evidence-base and patient-centered decision making. Although meta-analyses of
the existingRCTs improve the statistical powerof the data,they do notsolve the problem of trial
design (23,24). The reason for the gap between “evidence-base” and patient-centered decision
making is thatthe research methodology used in the RCTsdoes not simulate the questionsasked
in practice.This position shouldnot be construed tothe effect that clinicalresearch isdestined to
be disconnected from clinical practice, but it meant to emphasize that clinical research can only
provide answers to the questions that we pose and within the framework we apply. Physicians

patient’s illness, not to test the therapy.
To generate an evidence-base that can be used to guide decision making in patients with
“complex bifurcation lesions,” a RCT should
(a) include patients with complex “at risk” bifurcations, that is, patients with true bifurcation
lesions involving moderate-to-large side branches with severe SB ostial stenosis (not 50–60%
stenosis) and/or complex bifurcation angles;
(b) utilize a randomization strategy that simulate clinical practice, that is, on one hand, all
patients will be allocated to PS; on the other hand, the operator will triage patients to PS or
EDS based on predefined anatomic criteria.
(c) Operators participating in these trials should possess familiarity and skills in performing
a variety of double stenting techniques.
Surely, this would be a complex trial design, but so is clinical decision making! Until such
a RCT is performed, clinicians should individualize decision making based on the particulars
of patient’s bifurcation anatomy.

INTRODUCTION
PCI in coronary bifurcation lesions continue to be a focus of debate and interest because of its
complexity with respect to obtaining an optimal result in the main vessel (MV) while maintaining adequate patency of the side branch (SB). This procedural complexity is responsible for the
fact that bifurcation PCI is associated with higher incidence of procedural complications and
worse clinical outcomes compared with non-bifurcation PCI.
Even though several technical approaches have been advocated for bifurcation PCI, the
risk of SBcompromise isstill amajor concernthat drives new innovations and new techniquesin
this space. Although angiographic SB compromise is not always hemodynamically significant
when assessed physiologically (1), it can result in periprocedural myocardial infarction. The
causes and consequences of SB compromise during bifurcation PCI depend on well-defined
bifurcation anatomic characteristics (2–6), size of the territory supplied by the SB, and the
physiologic severity of the flow compromise in the SB. Therefore, defining and understanding
bifurcation anatomy is critical for the success of any bifurcation PCI strategy.

DEFINING CORONARY BIFURCATION ANATOMY
What is a Coronary Bifurcation Lesion?
A coronary bifurcation encompasses three distinct anatomical segments: proximal MV (including the bifurcation carina), distal MV, and SB [Fig. 1(A)]. The bifurcation carina (or MV-SB
“transition zone”) is considered to be the core of the coronary bifurcation anatomy and is
delimited proximally by the inflection point of the MV and SB and distally by the takeoff of
both distal branches. In general, each coronary bifurcation presents with an unique anatomy
represented by (a) conical shape connecting proximal and distal segments; (b) different vessel
diameters at each segment location, that is, larger proximal MV reference diameter compared
with smaller reference diameter in distal branches; (c) negative remodeling at the SB ostium;
(d) proximal to distal vessel diameter tapering; and (e) nonuniform geometrical distribution of

atherosclerotic plaque that can involve one, two, or all three anatomical segments, sparing the
flow divider [Fig. 1(B)] (7).
Histopathological studieshad demonstrated greater deposits of elastictissue surrounding
the SB ostium compared to other locations in the coronary tree, which could partially explain
the elastic recoil and spasm frequently seen at this location.
Coronary bifurcation lesions are
typically defined by the presence of a stenosis of at least 50% within 3 mm of a bifurcation
carina and may be found in every segment of the coronary tree with a side branch involved.
Atherosclerotic plaques are usually localized in vascular regions with low wall shear stress. In
onary bifurcations, it has been shown that the outer wall is exposed to low wall shear stress
cor
compared to the flow divider, where high wall shear stress is present [Fig. 1(C)] (8,9).
Ex Vivo Characterization of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
A study by Russell et al. (10) reported an ex vivo characterization of coronary bifurcation
lesions, evaluating the intersections of coronary bifurcations by measuring vessel diameters,
angles, and shapes at the SB ostium in human coronary arteries with a combination of a microscope (Smartscope MVP100) and computer program (Gage-X metrology software) specifically cal-
ibrated for video-based inspection and measurement (34-fold magnification). In this experiment,
retrograde polymer injection was performed to create casts of the human coronary tree in 23
human adult cadavers to characterize the anatomy of the SB vessels relative to the MV. This
experiment demonstrated a complex and asymmetric geometry at the MV-SB transition zone
(carina) of the bifurcation. The major forms of asymmetry included curvilinear junctions, taper-
ing diameters, and an elliptical SB takeoff rather than spherical or round forms [Fig. 2(A)]. This
study demonstrated the following:
1. Vessel tapering is more pronounced in the SB compared to the MV (2.5-fold greater). The
relative reduction in vessel diameter within the bifurcation length in the MV (proximal to
distal) was 17% compared to 30% in the SB [Fig. 2(B]).
