SCAI Bifurcation Club Webinar Series: Procedural Approaches and Techniques for Complex Lesions-Update on Ostial SB Stenosis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discussed the update on the optical coherence tomography (OCT) side branch stenosis. They analyzed a registry of over 8,000 patients and found that the incidence of 001 bifurcation reason was 4.1%. They found that true 001 bifurcation reason had a higher rate of adverse events compared to non-true bifurcation reason. The speaker also discussed the unique features and treatment options for 001 bifurcation reason, including medical therapy, balloon angioplasty, and stent strategy. They highlighted the importance of considering various treatment modalities and further evaluation with inter-coronary imaging or physiology to assess the reason for optimal treatment selection.
