BIFURCATION IMAGING SESSION
Feasibility and utility of three-dimensional optical coherence tomography
Author: Ryoji Nagoshi, M.D. , Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital Division of Cardiology
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to compare the procedures, the distal recrossing rates and the extent of stent strut apposition in bifurcation stenting between the three- dimensional (3D) optical coherence tomography (OCT) guide and the 2D-OCT guide.
CONCLUSION
3D-OCT guided PCI could be useful for attainment of GW distal recrossing and improvement of stent strut apposition in bifurcation stenting.
