Author: Dr. Pascal MOTREFF, Cardiology Department University Hospital Clermont-Ferrand, FRANCE

 

CONCLUSION

IVUS or OCT guidance in LM stenting

  • Could be helpful
    • most complex lesions or ambiguities
    • subobtimal immediate angiographic result
    • assessment of new dedicated stents
  • Not in routine…
  • IVUS guidance is not mandatory in LM stenting but
  • Use of knowledge from endoconary imaging are essential to improve our angiographic vision
