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.
