IVUS first to assess if D1 ostium is involved. If it does, then either DK or culotte, if done well, makes no difference

Very unfavorable ostial LCX for stenting. Scissoring motion of vessel is a “bench model” for restenosis. DCB from the get go without stenting once available in the US (once available)

Lower the HR, in extreme cases even adenosine push, or don’t predilate if IVUS shows no severe calcium, or hold breath, or two wire technique either in LCX or in septal, or change for supportive wire, or Szabo technique (not my favorite)

One view is inadequate for making recommendations. We need to see LAD diagonal better as well as RCA. There is hint that maybe more is going on, I can see a late filling of a branch that could be a collateral… I don’t believe I am saying this: Med thx

What’s the reference vessel size? That will help to decide whether OPN is needed or what you have is good enough
