Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disorder that frequently progresses and causes disability and premature death in both developed and developing countries worldwide. PCI can significantly improve the symptoms of patients with CAD compared to conservative medical treatment. PCI has become an important therapeutic approach for revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease. Bifurcation lesions are common coronary artery lesions, comprising approximately 20% of PCI procedures. Nonetheless, they remain one of the most challenging lesion subsets in interventional cardiology in terms of a lower procedural success rate and increased rates of long term adverse cardiac events. Considering that carina bifurcation angle is one of the characteristics of the coronary bifurcation lesions and it is important in carina shift mechanism, we studied correlation between carina bifurcation angles and side branch occlusion in elective percutaneous coronary bifurcation lesion intervention.
