Precision PCI in the era of AI and multimodality imaging
13 Jan 2025
Nailing the ostium of LAD, although technically challenging, can be precisely done with mandatory intracoronary imaging. It is essential to rule out disease extension into left main artery as, otherwise, cross over LM-LAD stenting strategy would be preferable. CTCA can help the interventionist plan the PCI,...
