Lecture by Dr. Hector García García – LM-PCI: IVUS and FFR/IFR? Dr. Hector García delivered an excellent presentation on whether we should use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or fractional flow reserve (FFR)/instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) to consider severe obstruction, since there is significant interobserver variability with angiography. Although the…

True left main stem bifurcation patients have shown fewer adverse events with stepwise provisional stenting vs systematic dual stenting as first strategy, even though the difference was not significant. Usually, for any other vessel, the preferred technique is provisional stenting. However, when it comes to the left main, there is a randomized, dedicated, well designed…
