Advanced techniques in specific clinical and anatomical settings
Spokesperson:
M. Hawranek
Summary
This session addresses advanced interventional techniques tailored to complex clinical and anatomical scenarios. It emphasizes risk assessment in complex patients, strategic procedural planning for high-risk and calcified lesions, and indications for mechanical support use to improve outcomes in challenging PCI cases.
Learning Objectives
- To understand what is meant by a "complex patient" and how to assess risk in patients prior to PCI
- To improve procedural planning in complex and high-risk patients with complex calcified lesions
- To learn and discuss when its indicated to use mechanical support in treating high-risk calcified lesions
