Calcified distal left main stenosis - LIVE case
Provisional distal left main stenting with OFDI-guided lithotripsy
Summary
Watch the case of a 62-year-old non-diabetic male patient with history of stroke and peripheral artery disease, normal ECG and left ventricular function, referred for CT scan and angiography. He presented with calcified distal LM stenosis and calcified proximal LAD stenosis.
Provisional left main stenting was performed, with lesion preparation by lithotripsy, followed by stenting of the prox LAD and stenting of the LM-LAD, ensued by kissing and POT.
PCI was guided by OFDI.
