IVUS plaque thickness and diameter ratio may predict acute side branch occlusion risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

What are the pre-PCI IVUS predictors of acute side branch occlusion after single stent crossover in coronary bifurcation lesions?
Pre-PCI IVUS parameters, specifically major vessel plaque thickness at the junction and side branch diameter ratio, can predict acute side branch occlusion during single stent crossover for bifurcation lesions.
Sakamoto et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Coronary bifurcation lesions (n=174). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) assessment was evaluated on Acute side branch occlusion (TIMI flow grade ≤2 just after stent implantation). Major vessel plaque thickness at the junction site and side branch diameter ratio independently predicted acute side branch occlusion (19.1% incidence) just after single stent crossover.
