Overview

You should attend the session if you want:

To see cases that address typical issues in stenting complex lesions.
To learn about PCI ASSIST, a new set of advanced imaging technologies that can be used in routine and in complex lesions to:

  • guide the stents during the procedure, determine optimal apposition of proximal part of main branch stent.
  • Precisely position the side branch stent.
  • Minimize stent overlap.
  • Avoid a gap between the two stents.

Type of case: T-stenting on LAD bifurcation lesion
