Imaging makes it clear!
With the collaboration of the Norwegian Society Invasive Working Group and Working Group for Interventional Cardiology, Austrian Society of Cardiology
Anchorpersons:
M. Frick, A. H. Kristensen
Discussants:
A. Niessner, V. Juliebø
Summary
Explore the critical role of intravascular imaging in interventional cardiology through real-world cases. This session highlights the value of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in avoiding unnecessary stenting in STEMI patients, the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in complex scenarios, and the management of calcified lesions with IVUS guidance. Engage with detailed case discussions that demonstrate strategic imaging-driven decision-making to optimize patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To learn about the value of intravascular ultrasound in avoiding stenting in a "STEMI" patient
- To learn about the value of OCT in complex situations
- To learn about the use of IVUS in calcified lesions
