• Inaccurate lesion assessment – ~65% physicians select stent length based on visual estimation alone 1 – 51% of physicians underestimated lesion length 2 – Inaccurate estimate lead to sub-optimal PCI procedure and can cause LGM • Longitudinal Geographic Miss (LGM) correlates with higher TVR – STLLR trial demonstrated high incidence of LGM 3 • Published Journal American College of Cardiology; • 1,557 patients, 41 US hospitals; 1 year follow up – 47.6%* of patients had LGM stent placements – LGM leads to 2.3x incidence of TVR 16 1 65% according to an online survey, Junicon market research 2012 – 113 interventional cardiologists.
