Key Points Bifurcations are particularly prone to errors in visual estimation of diameter stenosis. Dedicated bifurcation QCA software confirmed only 26–27% of side branch lesions visually estimated to have >50% DS. Validation against physiologic measures is necessary to determine whether bifurcation QCA software has value.
