Bifurcation Analysis in QAngio® XA (v 7.0) Geared Towards Clinical Practice

Author: Gerhard Koning, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands

 

CONCLUSION

  • Three segment approach: Each vessel around the bifurcation has its own reference diameter function
  • Improvements with respect to single vessel (“straight”) analysis:
    • Easier analysis workflow
    • Correct reference diameter calculation
    • Correct %Diameter stenosis calculation
    • Correct obstruction length measurement
  • The new bifurcation QCA software is based on a proper model for the bifurcation anatomy.
  • Should be used for bifurcation analysis instead of the standard QCA
