Stent failure management - The optimal use of intracoronary imaging - Part 1
Anchorperson:
T. Adriaenssens
Spokesperson:
S. Brugaletta
Summary
Watch this session to discover the optimal use of intracoronary imaging, to learn more about the differential role of IVUS and OCT imaging in stent failure, to study a case of in-stent restenosis due to calcified neoatherosclerosis, and to learn about the available evidence for the value of intracoronary imaging in stent failure.
Learning Objectives
- To learn specific tips and tricks for high quality image acquisition in stent failure cases
- To discriminate specific intracoronary imaging based underlying mechanisms of stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis and their impact on the subsequent interventional treatment
- To understand specific underlying vascular biology and stent healing mechanisms influencing stent healing and its imaging characteristics
