Bifurcation lesions

Find all the latest content on bifurcation lesions published on this website.

The percutaneous treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions is very dynamic with an ongoing evolution in clinical approaches and techniques and the management of more complex cases continuing to evolve. Keep up-to-date about all these changes along with the latest research and devices as well as advances in imaging, the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or understanding bleeding risks.
