Imaging coronary artery disease – New frontiers
With the collaboration of the Danish Society of Cardiology and Dutch Working Group of Interventional Cardiology
Anchorpersons:
J. Lønborg, G. Leenders
Discussants:
E. Lipsic, N. T. Olsen
Summary
Delve into new frontiers in imaging coronary artery disease, shifting focus from ischemia to plaque characteristics for revascularisation decisions. This session highlights the pivotal role of intracoronary imaging in understanding complex vessel anatomy and planning treatment, illustrated through detailed case studies showcasing unusual anatomies requiring tailored interventions.
Learning Objectives
- To move away from ischaemia towards plaque characteristics when assessing indication for revascularisation
- To understand the pivotal role of intracoronary imaging in understanding the underlying disease and vessel anatomy and for planning the treatment
- To see examples where unsual anatomy needs unusual treatment
