Best abstracts session #1

Facilitators: S. Alam, G. Ghanem, S. Alam

Summary

Join us for this dynamic 'Best Abstracts' session, where we delve into the latest research and insights from the world of interventional cardiology. Explore a diverse range of topics, from the use of E/e ratio as a marker for predicting periprocedural myocardial infarction in diabetic patients, to the long-term outcomes of drug-eluting balloons versus drug-eluting stents in small vessel coronary artery disease. Gain valuable perspectives on the impact of stent characteristics on short-term outcomes in primary coronary intervention, the application of TIMI risk score in chest pain patients, and the real-world experience of drug-coated balloon angioplasty. Additionally, dive into the OCT evaluation of everolimus-eluting stents in in-stent restenosis versus de novo lesions, the association between MACE and body mass index following PCI in ACS patients, and the outcomes of PCI in real-world practice. This session promises to be a treasure trove of cutting-edge research and practical insights that will enhance your clinical decision-making and patient care.
