LIVE BIFURCATION STENTING GUIDANCE: OCT, IVUS, FFR & ANGIO
OCT in assessment of stent failure at the bifurcation level
Author: Tom Adriaenssens, MD, PhD, University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium
CONCLUSION
- Bifurcation PCI treated segments do not constitute a majority of cases with ST in the Prestige OCT registry (16/230)
- Inclusion bias possible (more severe cases did not make it to the cath lab/did not undergo OCT during PCI)
- Problems of thrombus around floating struts and UC/MA/overlap in remote areas but related to bifurcation PCI technique predominant
