IVUS guidance or not for UPLM bifurcation stenosis (controversy)
Author: Pascal Motreff, MD, 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
