A Novel Method for the Analysis of Bifurcation Lesions

Author: Gerhard Koning, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands

 

GOAL

  • Develop and validate an accurate, reproducible and routinely applicable QCA approach for coronary and peripheral bifurcations based upon our extensive experience in QCA

CONCLUSION

  • Improvements with respect to straight QCA analysis:
    • Easier analysis workflow
    • Reference diameter calculation
    • %Diameter stenosis calculation
    • Obstruction length measurement
  • The new bifurcation QCA software is based on a proper model for the bifurcation anatomy
  • Bifurcation QCA should be used for bifurcation analyses instead of  straight QCA
