Learning Objectives:
- Using case examples, explain when and how to use each of the key bifurcation techniques including provisional stenting, mini crush, culotte, DK crush, and TAP.
- Differentiate when to use provisional stenting and when to use two-stent strategies.
- Review anatomical considerations when selecting the optimal two-stent strategy in LM and non-LM bifurcations.
- Discuss the role of intravascular imaging for bifurcation stenting.
