Complex calcified left main bifurcation - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
An 82-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, a history of Micra and RCA PCI 2 years later, was admitted for NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a very calcified distal left main stenosis, a significant and calcified ostial LAD stenosis (medina: 1 1 0), confirmed by IVUS. She...
Bifurcation PCI with TAP technique - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
A 72-year-old lady with dyslipidemia, hypertension and aspirin intolerance presented an NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a distal CX occlusion and a long calcified significant stenosis on proximal LAD with LAD/D3 bifurcation lesion, and a reduced LV function (47%).
Watch the operators as they perform an important...

Expert strategies for high-risk left main procedures
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Fighting with calcium is always a struggle
12 Sep 2024
Managing calcified lesions is always a challenge, and while rotablation is the default technique, other methods must sometimes be considered, especially for eruptive calcified nodules, such as Shockwave, OPN balloon, or orbital atherectomy.

Optimal minimal stent area and impact of stent underexpansion in left main up-front 2-stent strategy
10 Jul 2024
The present study aimed to revise the IVUS-derived segmental MSA criteria for optimal stent expansion in patients undergoing an up-front 2-stent strategy using the crush technique for LM bifurcation lesions to predict the 5-year clinical outcomes.
