How should I treat complex lesion from the intracoronary imaging view?
With the collaboration of Interventional Cardiovascular Society of Malaysia and Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics
Discussants:
T. Kajiya, G. S. K. Lau
Anchorperson:

Summary
Intracoronary imaging plays a crucial role in guiding treatment strategies for complex lesions. This session delves into the use of various imaging modalities, such as IVUS and OCT, to optimize PCI outcomes. Explore real-world case examples, including a sudden coronary arrest caused by focal stenosis with spasm, heavy SCAD in a retrovirus patient, and a challenging case of guidewire malposition into the subintima in a severely calcified lesion. Discover how imaging can help you tailor your PCI approach for better results.
Learning Objectives
- To know how to utilise imaging modalities to plan your PCI strategy
- To understand how the use of imaging can optimise your PCI results
- To see the use of imaging in various examples of patient/lesion subsets
