1/Week 1: What is MLD MAX?
In our 1st September Tweetorial we’ll discuss #MLDMAX,the new standardized OCT-guided PCI workflow.

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.

3/What does #MLDMAX stand for?
M – Morphology
L – Lesion
D – Diameter
M – Medial dissection
A – Apposition
X – eXpansion
Pre-PCI OCT [MLD] --> inform your treatment strategy
Post-PCI OCT [MAX]--> optimize stent placement

4/Simple? Check
Precise and Easy? Check
Thank you to the 8 physician experts who developed this workflow to easily use the information OCT provides throughout the PCI.

5/How does the use of #MLDMAX impact PCI outcomes?
LightLab showed OCT changed angio-based decisions in
83% of lesions during pre-PCI planning(MLD’s influence)
31% of lesions during post-PCI optimization(MAX’s influence)

6/OCT provides better insights and better outcomes.
Realize the benefits of OCT for PCI decision-making regardless of your experience level. The benefit was achieved in novel and experienced users, Bezerra et al: bit.ly/BezerraOCT
