Bifurcation PCI
Bifurcation PCI, also known as Bifurcation Stenting, is a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure used to treat coronary artery bifurcation lesions, which are abnormal branching patterns in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.
Advantages of Bifurcation PCI include:
- Improved blood flow: The stent used in Bifurcation PCI helps to restore normal blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Reduced symptoms: Patients often experience a reduction in symptoms such as chest pain after undergoing Bifurcation PCI.
- Minimally invasive: Bifurcation PCI is a minimally invasive procedure, which means that patients experience a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgical treatments.
- Lower risk of complications: Bifurcation PCI has a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgical treatments for bifurcation lesions.
Eligibility for Bifurcation PCI depends on several factors including the location and severity of the bifurcation lesion, the patient's overall health, and the presence of other medical conditions.
