Summary

Learn expert strategies for managing challenging acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases and complications. This session covers balloon-uncrossable CTO management in high-risk NSTEMI, iatrogenic coronary perforation during STEMI, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and complex anterior STEMI interventions with key clinical learnings.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn how to manage a balloon-uncrossable left circumflex CTO that's the only source of flow to a subtotal LAD in a high-risk NSTEMI
  • To learn how to manage iatrogenic coronary perforation during a STEMI case
