Feasibility and Efficacy of the Jailed Pressure Wire Technique for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions
Author: Manuel Pan, MD, Reina Sofia Hospital, Spain
BACKGROUND
Evaluation of side branch result during PS:
- A current challenge
- When to dilate or stenting the side branch?
- When to do anything else?
- Until now, good result: TIMI III flow and no significant compromise of SB ostium
- FFR is a good method to evaluate SB compromise.
OBJECTIVES
- Safety and feasibility of jailed pressure wire.
- Utility of physiological SB evaluation using iFR as a new index
CONCLUSION
- The use of jailed pressure wire to monitor SB results for bifurcations treated by provisional stenting seems to be safe.
- The iFR index seems to provide new physiological information about the significance of the SB stenosis.
