Summary

Navigate complex scenarios in left main coronary artery interventions with this session focusing on protected left main and multivessel disease, IVUS-guided PCI, stent optimization, and in-stent restenosis management. Real-world cases from Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Iraq provide collaborative insights and innovative strategies for challenging coronary anatomy.

Learning Objectives

  • To navigate complex LMCA restenosis scenarios, including protected left main and multivessel disease
  • To explore contemporary imaging and lesion preparation strategies in LMCA interventions, including IVUS-guided PCI, stent optimisation, and management of in-stent restenosis
  • To learn from real-world cases and regional experiences across Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Iraq—highlighting collaborative approaches, decision-making, and innovation in challenging coronary interventions
