Summary

How do I accurately nail the ostium of LCx/LAD? How safe is LAD/Cx stent protrusion into LM? Should I touch a "healthy" LM? How do I deal with a large difference in vessel diameter? These are the tough questions asked during this session, and answered by the analysis of concrete case studies.
