Alejandro González Veliz: A Good PCI is not Just about Opening the Artery
Alejandro González Veliz, Interventional Cardiologist at Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A good PCI is not just about opening the artery.
Restoring TIMI 3 flow is important – but it is only part of the story.
A truly optimized PCI requires careful lesion assessment and preparation, appropriate stent selection, optimal expansion and apposition, and confirmation of the final result.
When appropriate, intravascular imaging (IVUS/OCT) and coronary physiology (FFR/iFR) can reveal problems that angiography alone may miss.
Because a beautiful angiogram does not necessarily mean an optimal PCI.
The goal is not simply to open the artery.
The goal is to achieve the best possible result for the patient.”
