CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF CALCIUM IN THE DISTAL LEFT MAIN BIFURCATION ASSESSED BY OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

Calcium in the distal left main bifurcation is not well clarified. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) from the proximal left anterior descending (pLAD) to the LM to characterize calcification in the distal LM bifurcation. In 168 pts, calcium was analyzed every 1mm; the longitudinal
