Complex non left main bifurcation PCI - LIVE case
19 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
A 71-year-old male presented with angina (CCS 2), normal left ventricular function, and mitral stenosis. Coronary angiography revealed severe ostial stenosis of the circumflex artery and a significant LAD/diagonal bifurcation lesion (Medina 0.1.1).
The operators performed balloon valvuloplasty to treat the mitral stenosis, followed by LAD/diagonal PCI....
