Background: Coronary bifurcation lesion is important subject in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCIs). While much progress has been made in PCI facilities, bifurcation stenting is still has a lot of problems. Objectives: The aim of this study was the usefulness of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to help in the prediction of occlusion of side branch (SB) after stenting the main vessel (MV) in bifurcation lesions. Patients and methods: The period of this study was from May 2019 to December 2020, and included 80 patients who were submitted for elective coronary angiography to the cardiology department at Maadi Military Hospital, and showed bifurcation …
