Assessment of plaque morphology | Lipid plaque/fibrous plaque/fibro-calcific plaque/calcific plaque/luminal masses—red thrombus VS white thrombus |
Plaque modification devices | NC balloons/high pressure OPN NC balloon/Scoring balloons/ROTA/OA/IVL/ELCA |
For assessment of effectiveness of plaque modification | Evidence of fractures/dissections on OCT/HD-IVUS |
Device selection | Device length & Diameter |
For optimization of DES | Medial edge dissection/IMH/EMH/ expansion/apposition/tissue prolapse/LSD/geographical miss |
CTO lesions | Location of GW—intimal VS sub-intimal/IVUS guided antegrade puncture |
LM lesions | Assessment of severity of LM by MLA, and decision about PCI strategy—single VS two-stent technique Assessment of optimization of LM bifurcation result—expansion areas of LM, LM confluence, LAD & LCX |
Bifurcation lesions | Assessment of MLA, plaque burden & extent of plaque length of MV/MB/SB CT angle/BP-CT length (spiky carina, eye-brow sign) |
