Stent failure management - Contemporary management options - Part 2
Anchorperson:
S. Brugaletta
Spokesperson:
T. Adriaenssens
Summary
In this session, explore the evolving causes of restenosis in contemporary practice and understand how to tailor in-stent restenosis treatment based on its underlying mechanism. Discover why imaging is crucial for selecting the appropriate treatment in cases of in-stent restenosis, and learn that drug-coated balloons are generally more effective than drug-eluting stents for managing neoatherosclerosis. Additionally, gain insights into neoatherosclerosis management and the importance of addressing mechanical issues before treating restenosis to optimize patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To learn about the change of causes of restenosis in contemporary practice
- To understand how to tailor in-stent restenosis treatment depending on the mechanism
- To learn about neoatherosclerosis management
