2. Transition and intersection angles [Fig. 2(C)]:
a. Transition angles: The proximal and distal “transition” angles in non-LMCA locations
were obtuse (150.1 ±21.2 degrees and 111.3 + 29.6 degrees, respectively) [Fig. 2(D)].
b. Intersection angles: The proximal and distal “intersection” angles in non-LMCA locations
were 136.4 ± 22.0 degrees and 57.5 ± 24.7 degrees, respectively [Fig. 2(D)]. The dis­tal intersection angle in the LMCA location (i.e., between LAD and LCX) was 68.5 ±
13.5 degrees.
3. The shape of the SB takeoff segment had a curvilinear geometry. Also, the SB ostium had an
actual elliptical shape in the majority of cases rather than a spherical shape [Fig. 2(E)].
The Intersection Between Anatomy and Physiology in Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
The physiological pattern of biological fluid diffusion through a branching system was addressed in the classical work by C.D. Murray (11). The following are Murray’s assumptions regarding connecting large vessels to small vessels:
(a) the cube of the radius of a mother vessel (proximal MV) should equal the sum of the cubes
of the radii of the daughter vessels (distal branches);
(b) the totalflow of thesystem is carriedby a setof vessels whoseradii cubed sum toa constant
value;

(c) under optimum physiological arrangement, flow is achieved with the least possible bio-
logical work; and
(d) a maintenance energy term is required for the volume involved.

Considering bifurcation lesions, Murray’s law is a function of the size of the proximal MV
and the distal branches and is represented by the following formula: D1
3
= D23+ D33(+ ...
+ ...), where D1 is the mother vessel, and D2 and D3 are the daughter vessels. Importantly,
Murray’s relation was found to be applicable to both symmetrical and asymmetrical branching systems; also, there was no effect of lesion angulation (11,12). A study by Hutchins et al. (13) evaluated the usefulness of the Murray’s law in predicting geometrical relationships between MV and SB in 95 branch-points (LM =42) in postmortem human coronary arteriograms. Over­all, the results validated measured diameters according to Murray’s law in angiographically normal coronary arteries.
More recently, a study by Finet et al. (14) investigated the bifurcational fractal geometry in 59 patients (173 bifurcations) with angiographically normal coronaries. In this seminal work, quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) analysis was performed with a dedicated software where each reference diameter was located in an arterial segment adjacent to the bifurcation (mother vessel and two daughter vessels). In addition, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) of the LM bifurcation, LAD, and LCx was performed in 27 patients. The angles between the mother and majordaughter vessel (proximal angle) andbetween the twodaughter vessels (distal angle) were 156 ±29 degrees and 60 ±28 degrees, respectively. For eachbifurcation, the ratio between the sum of the daughter-vessel diameters and the mother-vessel diameter was calculated (ratio =Dm/Dd1+Dd2, where Dm was the diameter of themother vessel,and Dd1 and Dd2 were the respective diameters of the two daughter vessels). Overall (n = 173), mean diameters were
3.34 ± 0.95, 2.71 ±0.77, and 2.24 ± 0.69 for Dm, Dd1,andDd2, respectively, and the mean ratio was 0.68 ±0.066. Importantly, this ratio was constant across every scale of observation (mother vessel diameters ranging between ≤2.5 and ≥4.5 mm), and the relative reduction between the mother- and major daughter-vessel diameters was around 19%. Several studies have validated Finet’s law; its applicability includes determination of actual vessel size (diameter) for the three segments ofthe bifurcationincluding the mothervessel and two daughter vessels—iftwo diam­eters are known, it is possible to derive the diameter of the third vessel by using the formula (given above) [Fig. 3(A) and 3(B)]. This may be helpful for sizing devices (balloon, stent), defin­ing PCI strategy, and preventing complications such as coronary dissection and perforation.
Impact of Cardiac Motion on Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
Another important concept that has been largely overlooked with regard to coronary bifurca­tions isthe fact that thiscoronary segment is subject toconstant motion. The constantmovement and dynamicchanges in therelationship between theMV and theSB occur continuouslyduring the cardiac cycle (15,16). Basically, each vessel is moving in different directions and at different time delaysas the electrical activation of theheart progresses.During the cardiac cycle, coronary arteries follow the movement of their corresponding wall. For example, the LAD artery follows the anterior wall, whereas the diagonal branches follow the lateral wall movement. Thus, attri­tion wouldbe maximizedat thebifurcation carina, wherebending andtwisting occurrepeatedly. These constant movements may become clinically relevant if the stent is deployed through the MV to the SB. In addition, these sustained long-term repetitive stresses may cause stent frac­ture or recoil or may cause excessive injury to the vessel wall. Theoretically, this may influence long-term outcomes in this lesion subset, particularly if rigid stents are anchored in the MV, but have to follow the 3D movement path of the distal SB.
CLASSIFICATION SCHEMES OF CORONARY BIFURCATION LESIONS
Historically, several bifurcation classification schemes have been proposed in an attempt to standardize reporting and guide decision making [Fig. 4(A)]. However, all of the existing clas­sifications either ignored key anatomic elements, that are essential for accurate description of bifurcation lesions (SB ostium lesion severity and length, SB size and the myocardial territory it supplies, angulation, tortuosity, and calcification) or were difficult to use. Although the Medina classification distinguisheditself because it is easierto use and remember, it stilldid not address

the deficienciesof previous classifications (17).The Medina classificationdivides the bifurcation lesion intothree segments: theproximal MV, thedistal MV, and the SB,and assign each segment a binary value (1, 0) according to the presence of absence of obstruction [Fig. 4(B)]. A lesion is designated as a “true bifurcation lesion” when both the MV and the SB have a >50% stenosis (Medina types: 1,1,1; 1,0,1; 0,1,1) [Fig. 4(C)]. Although the Movahed classification did address some of the deficiencies of prior classifications, it remains difficult to use (18).
Therefore, although the existing bifurcation classifications provide a basic description of bifurcation anatomy, it does not provide sufficient anatomic information to standardize reporting in clinical trials or to guide technical decision making. This point is clearly illustrated

What Are the Bifurcation Anatomic Characteristics That Affect the Frequency and Severity of SB Compromise?
Historically, it has been suggested that SB compromise during PCI [Fig. 6(A)] is the result of snowplowing of plaque over the SB ostium or simply “plaque shift.” However, pathologic evaluation and IVUS studies have quently at
the bifurcation, it is often located opposite to the flow divider, that is, opposite the
demonstrated that
although atherosclerosis develops fre-
origin of the SB. This led to the proposition that SB compromise after MV stenting is due to “carina shift” rather than plaque shift. Nevertheless, some patients do have plaque accumula­tion at
the SB ostium and these patients are at high risk for plaque shift [Fig. 6(B)] (6). Although angiographic SB compromise, even when it is >50% stenosis, is not always hemodynamically significant when assessed physiologically (1), it can result in periproceduralischemia ormyocar­dial infarction when there is compromised flow. In any event, irrespective of the mechanism that led
to SB compromise in bifurcation PCI, there are several bifurcation anatomic features that affect the frequency and severity of this event. These features are not well represented in the current bifurcation classifications and are as follows.
SB Size and Its Correspondent Myocardial Territory
Although the size of the SB and its correspondent myocardial territory are the most important factors that would determine the clinical consequences of SB compromise during bifurcation PCI, neither of these anatomic elements are represented in any of the coronary bifurcation classifications. Furthermore, the effect of the size of myocardial territory supplied by the SB on patient outcomes has been neither quantified nor considered in any of the studies addressing PCI of bifurcation lesions. Although the effect of SB vessel size on procedural and long-term outcome after bifurcation PCI is not as well defined as it relates to MV intervention, there are several studies that did address this issue.
In general, the cutoff values for SB vessel diameters that determine inclusion or exclusion from a specific bifurcationstudy has been arbitrary chosen in both retrospectiveregistries (19,20) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (Table 1) (21–26). Of note, regardless of the technical

approach in treatment of bifurcations, smaller SBs appear to have increased risk of restenosis, even with DES (Fig. 7).
More importantly, SB diameter also affectsthe risk of SBocclusion during bifurcation PCI, where even smaller SBs may be clinically relevant (2–5). A study by Arora et al. (2) reported a series of 167 patients including 181 bifurcations lesions presenting with SB occlusions during PCI of the MV. In this analysis, all SBs with diameter >1.00 mm in non-LM location were included, while lesions where the SB was protected with a wire or was treated with PCI were excluded. In this study, 14% of patients developed postprocedure MI (new Q-wave MI and/or three timesincrease in total CPK with elevated MBfraction within 24 hourspost-PTCA) despite successful SB reopening in 16% of patients. In a study by Chaudhry et al. (5), 158 patients with bifurcation lesions withSBs ≥2.00 mm were treated with singlestenting approach(MV stent). In this study, 16% of patients had SB compromise (TIMI flow <3 and/or ≥70% stenosis); patients with SB compromise had smaller SBs compared with those without SB compromise (2.29 ±
0.34 mm vs. 2.54 ±0.55 mm; p =0.03). Importantly, SB compromise was associated with a large periprocedural MI (15% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.02; large AMI defined as CK-MB >5 times the upper normal limit). Independent predictors of SB “compromise” were eccentric lesion morphology in the MV (OR, 2.92; 95% CI, 1.11, 7.63; p = 0.03), smaller SB vessel diameter (OR, 0.21; 95% CI,
0.06, 0.77; p = 0.02), and SB% diameter stenosis (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00, 1.04; p =0.047).
SB Lesion Severity and Length
Although the Medina classification makes a distinction between SBs with > or <50% stenosis at the ostium, it does not represent the importance of the increasing severity of the ostial SB lesion nor it represents the importance of lesion length or the presence of more distal lesions in the SB. Although the presence of large plaque burden at the bifurcation can be associated with SB ostial deterioration or even occlusion after stent implantation in the MV, even in the absence of baseline SB ostium obstruction (19) the presence of ostial SB obstruction certainly increases this risk. Aliabadi et al. (4) categorized bifurcation lesions according to the degree of obstruction in the SB ostium into (a) SB with minimal or no disease, where the chance of SB occlusion was 1% to 4%; and (b) SB with ostial stenosis >50%, where the risk of SB occlusion was
14% to 27%.Furukawa et al. demonstrated that the riskof SB deterioration (final TIMI flow ≤2) during bifurcation PCI is significantly more common in SBs with an ostial stenosis ≥50% compared to an ostial stenosis <50% (20.8% vs. 6.1%; p =0.049) and in longer lesions compared to shorter lesions (Fig. 8) (6). Furthermore, Chaudhry et al. (5) demonstrated that the risk for SB

compromise increases with increased SB ostial stenosis severity (for every 10% increase in SB stenosis severity, the risk of SB compromised increased by 23%) and calcification (46% vs. 26%;
p =
0.06). Therefore, it becomes clear that the lack of representation of ostial SB lesion severity and the length in the existing classifications are major limitations to its utility in standardizing reporting and guiding decision making.
The Bifurcation Angle
None of the existing bifurcation classifications reflect the importance of the bifurcation angle. Although several studies have reported on measurementsof bifurcation angles (19,27,28), there has been no standardized method, which makes comparisons between published series futile. Lansky et al. (29) proposed a methodology for angle assessment in the Consensus Statement from the European Bifurcation Group. This report proposed measuring two angles: (i)the “take-off angle” (proximal angle) between the proximal MV and the SB and (ii) the “carina angle” (distal angle) between the distal MB and the SB; to consider the widest angle in the least foreshortened view [Fig. 9(A)]. The majority of QCA analysis software includes a “digital caliper” tool to analyze angles and the new dedicated bifurcation QCA software has integrated automated contour-detectors that can derive angle calculation. A study by Ramcharitar et al. (30) reports the point ofbifurcation (POB), which isdefined as the pointwhere all the centerlines from the three segments of the bifurcation meet (at the core of the carina); the centerlines being the lines (or axis) through the middle of the vessel. Measurement of bifurcation angles utilizing the angulations between the axes or the centerlines of the proximal and distal segments of the bifurcation has beenwidely accepted. Theangle between theSB and theMV affects theoutcome of bifurcation PCI on various levels:
r
Risk of SB compromise after MV stenting.
r
The technical easeor difficultywith whichSB wiring and stent deliverycan beaccomplished.
r
Appropriateness of coverage of the ostium SB and the extent of geometric deformation of the SB stent.
In general, a shallow distal angle between the SB and the MV may be associated with higher incidence of SB occlusion, especially if the SB ostium is severely diseased. However, a shallow angle allows easier access for SB wiring and stent delivery during PCI. On the other hand, a wider distal angle (closer to 90 degrees) may be associated with lower chances of SB occlusion, but it may make SB wiring and stent delivery more challenging.
Bifurcation lesions have also been categorized on the basis ofthe distalangle measurement as Y-shaped (<70 degrees) [Fig. 9(B)] or T-shaped (>70 degrees) [Fig. 9(C)]. A study by Lef`evre et al. (19) suggested that Y-shaped lesions are associated with increased risk for periprocedural complications compared with T-shaped lesions, including more “snow-plow” effect. Also, it is more difficult to accurately position a stent at the SB ostium in Y-shaped bifurcations when
