Stent failure: don't guess, just see!

Facilitators: A. Greco, A. Lavoie

Summary

Investigate causes and imaging-based solutions for stent failure in this session. Topics include management of refractory stent underexpansion using lithotripsy or stent ablation, OCT perspectives on iatrogenic aortic dissection during PCI for in-stent restenosis, and analyses of bioresorbable scaffold failure. Gain insights into complex stenting techniques likened to "nesting dolls" to optimize outcomes.
