Contemporary treatment of coronary artery disease is highly dependent on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) along with medical management. PCI techniques have advanced significantly over time and are used for stenting even challenging lesions. There are, however, some lesions that present challenges via the conventional PCI route. These complex coronary lesions are categorized based on anatomic, physiological, or functional difficulties. Some of these complex lesions in coronary vessels include bifurcation lesions, calcified lesions, chronic total occlusions, unprotected left main coronary artery lesions, ostial lesions, and saphenous vein graft stenosis. This activity describes the clinical evaluation of complex coronary artery lesions and explains the role of the health professional team in coordinating the care of this condition.
