What is MLD MAX Workflow?

In this video, Dr. Ziad Ali gives a background on how MLD MAX workflow was invented and why it is important.
• MLD MAX is a standardized step-by-step workflow to help guide pre- and post-PCI decisions.
• MLD MAX is mnemonic for Morphology, Length, Diameter, Medial Dissection, Apposition and Xpansion.
• Use of the workflow resulted in an 88% change in physicians’ treatment decisions¹ compared to angiography alone without a change in contrast usage and a 10% reduction in radiation², as shown in the LightLab Clinical Initiative.
This video is an excerpt from the full-length video by Dr. Ziad Ali titled “MLD MAX OCT Algorithm” available on the channel, in which he teaches how to perform each step of the workflow.
