AI Article Synopsis
- Certain coronary artery lesions increase intervention complexity and are linked to poorer cardiovascular outcomes and higher ischemic event risks.
- These lesions are classified based on angiographic features such as bifurcation lesions, left main coronary artery disease, calcified lesions, in-stent restenosis, chronic total occlusions, and graft interventions.
- The review discusses effective techniques for treating these complex lesions, focusing on bifurcation lesions, indications for treating left main disease, and tools for calcified lesions in its first part.
Article Abstract
Clinicians have long recognized that certain features of coronary artery lesions increase the complexity of intervention. Complex lesions are associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes and a higher risk of subsequent ischemic events. These lesions are categorized by their angiographic features. These features include bifurcation lesions, left main coronary artery disease, calcified lesions, in-stent restenosis, chronic total occlusions and graft interventions. This two-part review aims to highlight the current evidence in the percutaneous management of these lesions. Part one of this review focuses on the best techniques to treat bifurcation lesions, indications for intervention of left main coronary artery disease and additional tools used to treat calcified lesions.
