Stepwise OCT for treatment optimization in provisional approach of bifurcated coronary lesions
10 Jan 2025
OCT provides information of the accuracy of every maneuver performed during the treatment of bifurcation lesions. We can clearly see if the POT achieves proximal stent apposition, if the side branch wire crosses through the correct cell, and the impact of final kissing-balloon inflation on stent geometry.

Left main bifurcation instent restenosis - LIVE case
18 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
A 76-year-old male with a history of LM PCI (2-stent strategy), RCA PCI, reduced LV function (25%), diabetes, and CKD presented with worsening angina. Angiography revealed in-stent restenosis at the ostium of the LAD and CX, along with RCA occlusion.
The procedure was performed with axillary Impella...
Optical coherence tomography predictors of clinical outcomes after stent implantation: the ILUMIEN IV trial
04 Nov 2024
The aim of this pre-specified analysis of the ILUMIEN IV trial was to assess the relationship between post-PCI OCT parameters of suboptimal stent implantation and clinical outcomes.

Bifurcation PCI with TAP technique - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
A 72-year-old lady with dyslipidemia, hypertension and aspirin intolerance presented an NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a distal CX occlusion and a long calcified significant stenosis on proximal LAD with LAD/D3 bifurcation lesion, and a reduced LV function (47%).
Watch the operators as they perform an important...
Complex calcified left main bifurcation - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
An 82-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, a history of Micra and RCA PCI 2 years later, was admitted for NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a very calcified distal left main stenosis, a significant and calcified ostial LAD stenosis (medina: 1 1 0), confirmed by IVUS. She...
Complex left main bifurcation PCI - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Follow this case of a 65-year-old male with hypertension, a smoker with increasing angina. The coronary angiography found ostial calcified LAD and Circonflex confirmed by IVUS, with a preserved LV function.
The operators decided to perform a PCI of the distal left main with the DK-Crush technique...
Image-guided PCI of distal left main disease
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Exploring a recorded case of image-guided PCI of distal left main disease, as well as a new paradigm in AI-driven imaging, and learn how coronary imaging aids in decision-making, optimises final outcomes, and enhances stent clarity to guide results in complex PCI procedures. Watch now to deepen...
