Struts across side branch an oct follow up

CONCLUSION

  • Struts across a major side branch may be a predictor of side branch re-stenosis.                                                           – Neo-intimal growth over the struts will compromise the side branch ostia over time.
  • Proposed hypothesis:                                                                                                                                                          – Struts across SB on OCT Imaging may be an indication to kiss/PSP, even if the ostia is not compromised on angiography.
  • Follow up OCT study required.
