Coronary bifurcation lesions are frequently encountered and they remain a very challenging issue even in this era of drug-eluting stent. It is necessary to understand the basic nature of the bifurcation in anatomical, physiological, and pathological terms in order to better understand the problems peculiar to the bifurcation. In this session, professional experts in these areas will demonstrate contemporary information and skilled interventional cardiologists will present fascinating imaging. This session will surely provide you with a comprehensive understanding of bifurcation lesion.
