Percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation coronary lesions using optimised angiographic guidance: the 18th Consensus Document from the European Bifurcation Club

24 Jun 2024

In coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) PCI, intracoronary imaging (ICI) is preferred for its superior outcomes over angiography alone, but its adoption is limited by education and technology access barriers, resulting in most CBL PCIs still using angiographic guidance only.

Migration of the stent in the left main stem due to poor lesion preparation

23 May 2024

Poor lesion preparation is an important factor contributing to serious complications in PCI of heavily calcified lesions. We present a case of a stent loss in a left main coronary artery followed by its successful retrieval.

Non left main bifurcation - LIVE case

17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024

A 53-year-old male presented with a late STEMI one month ago. Coronary angiography revealed three-vessel disease: CX occlusion (culprit lesion), RCA bifurcation stenosis, and severe mid LAD-D1 (1-1-1) stenosis. The operators performed RCA PCI during the STEMI hospitalization.
In this live case, they performed the LAD-D1 bifurcation...

Left main and complex bifurcation stenting

14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024

Watch this session focused on a patient with distal left main stenosis to understand that the stepwise provisional side branch (SB) stenting strategy is the standard approach for most left main trifurcation lesions. Discover the importance of optical frequency domain imaging for strategy determination and bifurcation...
