SCAI Bifurcation Club Updates-Algorithmic Approach of Bifurcation PCI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary:<br />In the video, the speaker discusses techniques for treating bifurcation lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The first key point is that the technique used should be individualized for each bifurcation lesion. The second key point is that the decision on which technique to use depends on factors such as the size of the side branch, the length of the lesion in the side branch, and the risk of losing the side branch. The speaker explains that if there is no true bifurcation, a one-stent technique called provisional can be used. If there is a true bifurcation, the speaker explains the different techniques that can be used, such as T-TAP, CULOT, and decay-crush. The speaker provides tips and tricks for each technique, such as wire exchange and jail balloon technique. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of having a guideline or app to help remember the steps and techniques for bifurcation lesions in PCI.
