Bifurcation Blockage
What is bifurcation blockage of the heart?
A bifurcation blockage or bifurcation lesion is narrowing or stenosis in a major coronary artery and an adjacent side-branch vessel of the heart.
When does a bifurcation blockage happen?
As a result of some alterations in blood flow, plaque and fatty build-up are more likely to form at the location where a side-branch vessel originates from the main coronary artery.
