Summary

This session, in collaboration with the Sociedad Latino Americana de Cardiologia Intervencionista (SOLACI), provides insights into the management of left main coronary artery disease in Latin America. Attendees will learn about the revascularization guidelines for left main in the region, the approaches to left main bifurcations through the LatAmBif registry, and strategies for treating complex left main lesions, including severe calcification and multi-arterial disease. The session features interactive case discussions, allowing for the exchange of experiences and best practices among interventional cardiologists.
