Abstract:
This case emphasizes the need to use intravascular imaging to optimize stent implantation in the left main coronary artery. Despite recommendations, intravascular imaging is still widely under-utilized. The recently developed stent apposition OCT software (OPTIS Stent Optimization Software; Abbott Vascular) confirmed its usefulness in optimizing stent implantation in unprotected left main PCI.
