Summary
This session offers an in-depth exploration of precision plaque management strategies through hybrid lesion preparation techniques and advanced intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging. It emphasizes the synergistic use of drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents to optimize PCI outcomes. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how cutting balloons enhance plaque modification and drug delivery, supported by IVUS-guided assessment for precise intervention optimization.
Learning Objectives
- To gain a deeper understanding of lesion preparation technologies and their impact on procedural outcomes
- To explore the complementary use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) and drug-eluting stents (DES) in contemporary PCI practice
- To maximise the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging to achieve improved PCI outcomes through precise assessment and optimisation
