Coronary bifurcation intervention is common but complex. Progress in this field has been made in recent years with considerable contribution from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. However, the standard of practice varies across the APAC region due to differences in culture, socioeconomic state and healthcare set-up. Practice may also differ from the rest of the world. Hence, a panel of experts was invited to discuss topics relevant to bifurcation intervention in order to make a concerted effort to achieve consensus that is applicable within the region and in line with available evidence.
冠状动脉分叉病变介入治疗较为常见但也较为复杂。近年来，亚太地区（APAC）在该领域取得了一定进展，做出了重要贡献。然而，由于文化、社会经济状况和医疗体系的差异，APAC 地区的实践标准存在差异。此外，实践也可能与世界其他地区有所不同。因此，邀请了一组专家讨论与分叉病变介入治疗相关的议题，以便共同努力达成共识，使这一共识既能适用于该地区，又符合现有证据。
