2/ Morphology assessment affects vessel prep which impacts stenting strategy.
In the LightLab Clinical Initiative, #OCTimaging changed physician’s angiographic assessment of lesion morphology in 48% of lesions or about 1 out of every 2 lesions.

3/ When a lesion type change occurred, calcification was the predominant morphology observed in pre-PCI OCT pullback. Misdiagnosis of calcification changed vessel preparation strategy in 28% of lesions.

2/How does MLD MAX play a role in PCIs?
#MLDMAX is an acronym for the OCT workflow in the LightLab Clinical Initiative, a multicenter, prospective, observational study in the US to evaluate the impact of a routine workflow on physician decision-making & procedural efficiency.
