Summary
This replay provides a comprehensive guide to mastering antegrade wire escalation (AWE), managing failed procedures, and utilizing IVUS to address ambiguous proximal caps. Additionally, learn when to stop in the event of a failed case and explore alternative strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To learn to interpret different antegrade cap morphologies in order to optimise set up, materials and techniques choices
- To understand the choice of guidewires and microcatheters and how to use them in the best way
- To learn how to approach an ambiguous proximal cap with antegrade techniques (IVUS, BASE)
- To know, after failed AWE, when to consider antegrade dissection re-entry or parallel wiring, to invest or to stop
