LM Bifurcation Algorithm and DK Crush-Suggested Algorithm for LM Bifurcation Treatment

Suggested Algorithm for LM Bifurcation Treatment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript is from a video presentation discussing the update of an algorithm for the treatment of left main bifurcation disease. The speaker mentions that there are no uniform recommendations for this type of treatment and focuses on escalation rate and determinants for subsequent stent implantation. They highlight the variations in escalation rate across different studies and the different definitions for suboptimal results. The speaker suggests an algorithm that takes into account the complexity of the bifurcation lesion, including angiographic and intravascular imaging determinants, and recommends considering a stepwise approach and functional assessment of side branch impairment. The addition of imaging to the algorithm is praised for providing more information. No credits were mentioned in the video. (114 words)
