DCB and intracoronary imaging: Navigating complex coronary interventions
Session comprising selected AICT-AsiaPCR 2024 Clinical case submissions
Summary
This session explores the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) and intracoronary imaging techniques in complex coronary interventions. It features a series of case presentations highlighting the application of technologies like near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and physiology-guided approaches to optimize outcomes in challenging scenarios. The cases cover topics such as assessing lipid core burden in myocardial infarction, zero-contrast PCI in chronic kidney disease, and the role of hybrid PCI strategies. Discussions after each case provide valuable insights and audience interaction to further elucidate the clinical applications and best practices for utilizing these advanced tools and techniques.
