We report three cases of successful implantation of three different stents specially designed
for bifurcation lesions, guided by intracoronary ultrasound. The BARD and AVE are true
bifurcated stents for side‐branch access and the NIR‐Side Royal is a single modified NIR
stent with an aperture to allow provisional bifurcation stenting. These designs introduce a
new era in percutaneous management of coronary bifurcation lesions. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
