Percutaneous treatment of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is complex and associated with poorer results as compared to simple lesions. When additional branches take off from the LMCA, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be challenging. We present two patients with ACS, in whom the culprit lesions were located at the LMCA quadrifurcation. Additionally, we propose modified Medina classification adopted for quadrifurcation lesions.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is complex and associated with poorer results as compared to simple lesions. When additional branches take off from the LMCA, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be challenging. We present two patients with ACS, in whom the culprit lesions were located at the LMCA quadrifurcation. Additionally, we propose modified Medina classification adopted for quadrifurcation lesions.
