Percutaneous Coronary Interventional Treatment of Left Main Trifurcation Lesion: A Case Report

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among complex high-risk and indicated patients (CHIP). Revascularization is often beneficial for these patients; however, it requires thorough risk stratification and close multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to optimize outcomes. Personalized treatment plans, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), are crucial in this context. In this report, we present a case of a 70-year-old man with left main trunk bifurcation lesions, referred to as a "Four Forks Lesion," who was successfully revascularized using a PCI strategy, resulting in a favorable prognosis.

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among complex high-risk and indicated patients (CHIP). Revascularization is often beneficial for these patients; however, it requires thorough risk stratification and close multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to optimize outcomes. Personalized treatment plans, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), are crucial in this context. In this report, we present a case of a 70-year-old man with left main trunk bifurcation lesions, referred to as a "Four Forks Lesion," who was successfully revascularized using a PCI strategy, resulting in a favorable prognosis.
