Functional and morphological assessment of side branch after left main coronary artery bifurcation stenting with cross‐over technique

In left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation lesions, hemodynamic and geometrical change in left circumflex artery (LCX) ostium after main branch (MB) stenting has not been known. This study evaluated how accurately intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) predicts the functional compromise of the sidebranch.
