Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Interventions
  • Medical Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Intravascular imaging is clinically valuable for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), but adoption is limited due to a lack of standardized integration protocols.
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution imaging and automated software, facilitating its integration into routine PCI workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and describe the MLD MAX algorithm for standardized integration of OCT in PCI procedures.
  • To enhance the practical application of intravascular imaging for optimizing PCI outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • The MLD MAX algorithm utilizes baseline OCT imaging for procedural planning (lesion morphology, stent length, stent diameter).
  • Post-PCI OCT imaging assesses stent optimization (medial dissections, stent apposition, stent expansion).

Main Results:

  • The MLD MAX algorithm provides a structured approach for incorporating OCT data into PCI.
  • It facilitates efficient and memorable workflow for optimized PCI procedures.

Conclusions:

  • The MLD MAX algorithm offers a standardized method for utilizing OCT in PCI.
  • This approach can improve the practical adoption and effectiveness of intravascular imaging in guiding PCI.
