FFR / IVUS for ambiguous UPLM stenosis

Author: Gary Mintz

Why?

•  Pre-intervention IVUS identifies lesions that do not need re-vascularisation

•  Pre-intervention IVUS accurately assessed plaque distribution within the LMCA and into the LAD and LCX

•  Pre-intervention IVUS results in proper stent sizing (length and diameter)

•  Iterative procedural IVUS helps to recognise complications

•  Iterative procedural IVUS optimises stent implantation, especially stent expansion
