Further Optimization of Kissing Balloon Inflation: Insight from computer simulations

European Bifurcation Club 2014 - EBC 2014 - Bordeaux, France Bifurcation stenting: learning from bench and simulation Further Optimization of Kissing Balloon Inflation: Insight from computer simulations Author: Peter Mortier, MD, FEops / Ghent University, Belgium CONCLUSION Side branch access: A good kissing inflation does not guarantee optimal side branch access - A large variability was observed with each stent design Inflating the side branch balloon first optimizes side branch access Stent strut apposition: Malapposed struts are always present near the side branch ostium Reducing the pressure in the SB balloon does not increase the amount of malapposed stent struts The elliptical deformation in the proximal segment can be reduced by reducing the pressure in the side branch balloon prior to inflating the main branch balloon.

Why I prefer IVUS in bifurcation guidance

European Bifurcation Club 2014, EBC 2014 - Bordeaux, France LIVE BIFURCATION STENTING GUIDANCE: OCT, IVUS, FFR & ANGIO Why I prefer IVUS in bifurca3on guidance Author: Masahiro Yamawaki, MD, PhD, Saiseikai Yokohama City Eastern Hospital, Japan SUMMARY The mechanism of luminal widening by FKI was stretching vessel wall. FKI corrected carina/plaque-shift in about 30%. Plaque shift dominantly occurred(50%) The vessel anatomy assessed by IVUS before intervention /FKI was predictable for plaque/ carina shift, and associated with residual SB ostium stenosis despite FKI. CONCLUSION Why I prefer IVUS in bifurcation guidance” Because we can check optimal result after stenting by IVUS. In addition, IVUS before- and during PCI helps us to .... know precise anatomy, and predict SB compromise as well as luminal widening after FKI. make decision of final strategy of bifurcation-PCI make our procedure logical and predictable !
