Facilitators: H. W. Sim, D. L. Munawar

Discussant: K. H. Yiu

Summary

This session delves into the latest developments in coronary interventions, highlighting advances in vascular access techniques, innovative devices, and clinical outcomes. Topics include endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction in restenosis, the efficacy of distal radial artery (DRA) puncture and sheathless catheters in underserved areas, the use of intravascular lithotripsy combined with drug-coated balloons (DCB), and comparative analyses of access sites and PCI strategies from diverse geographic regions.
