Abstract
None:
The ORCAS technique highlights the potential value of continuous intracoronary imaging during key procedural steps such as plaque preparation and ostial stent implantation. Real-time IVUS guidance may support more precise assessment and execution, possibly improving procedural accuracy and consistency in complex aorto-ostial lesions, particularly in heavily calcified coronary anatomy.
