What is the role of intra-coronary physiology and imaging to guide left main bifurcation PCI?

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

As Alejandro Travieso explains, physiology and imaging are complementary to achieve good assessment of left main PCI. Dejan Milasinovic adds that different imaging tools can be used in different patients, so practitioners may choose between OCT and IVUS, depending on their main target of interest.

Complex bifurcation PCI - LIVE case

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Study the case of this 69-year-old male patient with recent PCI on LAD presenting chronic coronary syndrome. Angiography showed calcified stenosis on bifurcation of proximal CX and large obtuse marginal 1, Medina 0-1-1.

The PCI strategy was an OCT-guided TAP technique:
