What are the best imaging criteria for adequate stent expansion and apposition in bifurcation lesion

Author: Nicolas Amabile, MD, PhD, Institut Mutualiste Montsouris , Paris , France

 

CONCLUSION

  • Best imaging criteria for bifurcation PCI quality assessment are not completely established.
  • Although consensus criteria exist for non bifurcated lesions, they might not be applicable “as they are” to bifurcations.
  • Malapposition criteria can be applied for MV and MB.
  • Special alention must be given in the future to redefine our objectives for adequate stent expansion.
