Distal Left Main Trifurcation Disease in a Patient with Porcelain Aorta

Coronary trifurcation lesions are a complex subset of lesions and are substantially more complex than bifurcations when treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of higher rates of acute periprocedural complications (dissection, myocardial infarction, acute vessel closure) and less effective long-term outcomes (stent thrombosis, restenosis) as compared to non-bifurcation lesions.
