Our patient with a bifurcation lesion

19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Watch this session to improve your skills in adapting bifurcation stenting strategy to the underlying anatomy, in performing the stepwise layered provisional strategy for the majority of bifurcations, and in understanding when to treat a bifurcation with two stents.

Left main bifurcation stenting

19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022

Let's study, LIVE from Massy, France, the case of a 76-year-old man, hypertensive, dyslipidemic, who presented apical necrosis without ischemia in 2017, asymptomatic, referred for myocardial scintigraphy, and find out more about performing LM PCI, using imaging to guide the procedure.
