What are the Best Imaging Criteria for Adequate Stent Expansion and Apposition in Bifurcation Lesion

European Bifurcation Club 2019, EBC 2019 - Barcelona, Spain 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.
