Intravascular Imaging with Bifurcation PCI-Bifurcation Case Presentation with OCT Imaging and Optimization

Bifurcation Case Presentation with OCT Imaging and Optimization

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a talk by Professor Morisato on the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in bifurcation stenting. He discusses the technique of OCT imaging and optimization using the Ultron 2.0 software. He presents a case of a 65-year-old male with a left anterior descending (LAD) lesion and a diagonal bifurcation. He explains the process of using OCT to assess the morphology, length, and size of the vessel, as well as to detect calcium. He demonstrates how the software provides information on stent length and landing zones, allowing for precise stent placement. He also emphasizes the importance of imaging in bifurcation treatment and discusses various techniques that can be used. The video ends with a brief discussion and questions from the audience.
