Standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI

18 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Achieving standardised criteria for stent optimisation in imaging-guided PCI can be challenging and requires correct analysis of the pre-PCI lesion anatomy, correct use of dedicated tools, and rigorous methodology, as this should not be at the expense of patient safety: this is the key message of...
