Summary

This session addresses the complexities of PCI in post-CABG patients, focusing on the application of intravascular imaging and functional assessment to guide strategy. It discusses clinical and anatomical factors influencing the choice between native vessel and graft PCI, and explores management techniques for unyielding graft lesions, highlighting ablation-based and balloon-based approaches.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn how to apply intravascular imaging and functional assessment to guide PCI strategy in post-CABG patients
  • To understand the clinical and anatomical considerations when choosing between native vessel and graft PCI
  • To explore management approaches for unyielding graft lesions
