CORONARY BIFURCATION IMAGING
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.
