Impact of peri-procedural IVUS on OCT outcome parameters: IDEAL-LM Study

Author: Robert-Jan van Geuns,

SUMMARY

• Overall large stent areas and MLA at OCT FU
• Larger stent areas inproximal main vs distal main
• Frequent use of IVUS in substudy (approx.50%)
• Use of IVUS no impact on stent size.
• Use of IVUS no difference in mean LA or MLA
• Late malapposition similar in bifurcation and distal main branch
• Without IVUS: More late malapposition, larger ISA in proximal main branch
