Belgium and Scotland share their most educational cases: coronary complications

With the collaboration of the Belgian Working Group of Interventional Cardiology (BWGIC) and the Interventional Working Group of the Scottish Cardiac Society

Chairpersons: W. Desmet, H. Eteiba

Speakers: W. Desmet, R. Good, N. Hiltrop, M. Lindsay, P.J. Palmers, A. Stewart, B. Drieghe, H. Eteiba

To understand spontaneous coronary dissection and appreciate the complexity of managing STEMI early post-CABG and aortic valve replacement
To learn about possible technical defects of stent delivery systems and share the experience of treating left main occlusion and haemodynamic collapse following non-coronary intervention
To learn about problems with coronary stents protruding in the aorta and reflect on the significance of unusual angiographic appearance and subsequent recurrent STEMI

Presentations available when logged in:

Session objectives
Case 1: burning down the house - managing left main occlusion and haemodynamic collapse post-radiofrequency ablation
Case 2: spontaneous coronary dissection: from bad to worse
Case 3: sound of silence - managing inferior STEMI with early prosthetic aortic valve replacement thrombosis
Case 4: fracture of a stent delivery system
Case 5: caught in a trap - unexpected finding leading to recurrent STEMI
Case 6: a previously stented coronary ostium, an open door? Or not?
