Computational simulations in coronary bifurcations: Paving the future of interventional planning

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2016 Jun;87(7):1256-7. doi: 10.1002/ccd.26602.

Abstract

Anatomical evaluation is of paramount importance in the treatment of bifurcation lesions. Left main coronary artery bifurcation geometry differs from left anterior descending artery/diagonal and circumflex artery/obtuse marginal bifurcations. Individualized approach with pre-procedural planning has the potential to improve outcomes after bifurcation treatment.
