Around 15-20% of coronary lesions include bifurcation, and among which left main (LM) bifurcation lesions are critical and complex to manage. Though the two-stent strategy is the preferred option for complex LM bifurcation lesions, the provisional strategy should be considered if the side branch is disease-free to avoid peri- and post-procedural complications. Thus, precise anatomical and physiological assessment of LM lesion should be made using intravascular imaging techniques for appropriate decision making. Here, we report three cases of successfully managed LM bifurcation lesions using the provisional stenting technique with the guidance of intravascular ultrasound, fractional flow reserve, and heart team. All three patients were doing well and were ischemia-free on stress echocardiography at three months follow-up.
