Insights
This case study highlights the successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a complex "Four Forks Lesion" in a high-risk patient with coronary artery disease (CAD). The PCI strategy achieved a favorable prognosis, demonstrating its efficacy in challenging revascularization scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Medicine
Background:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major global health concern, especially for complex high-risk and indicated patients (CHIP).
- Revascularization is vital for CHIP, necessitating precise risk assessment and multidisciplinary teamwork.
- Personalized treatment strategies, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
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.
