ACS: multimodality imaging saves the day

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions

Facilitators: V. Nagaraja, H. Tormilainen

Summary

This session explores various challenging acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases where multimodality imaging, such as emergency cardiac CT, IVUS, and other techniques, played a crucial role in diagnosis and management. The cases cover a wide range of scenarios, including right coronary artery ACS, STEMI with a curve ball, ACS without cardiovascular risk factors, and ACS in grown-up congenital heart patients. The session emphasizes the importance of utilizing advanced imaging tools to navigate complex ACS presentations and make informed treatment decisions.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • ACS where emergency cardiac CT was useful for identification of right coronary artery
  • Where shall we go?
  • Heart with three auricles
  • When the thrombus does not allow us see the free path
  • STEMI call with a curve ball
  • ACS without cardiovascular risk factors: are we missing something?
  • Diagnostic challenge of ACS in grown-up congenital heart patient
