Anchorperson:
G. Stankovic
Spokesperson:
S. Gunasekaran
Summary
This session examines optimal strategies for managing isolated ostial lesions in the left anterior descending and circumflex arteries, comparing left main crossover, ostial stenting, and drug-coated balloon (DCB) approaches. It emphasizes integrating multimodality imaging for informed decision-making, illustrated through detailed case discussions.
Learning Objectives
- To understand best strategies for treatment of isolated ostial circumflex/left anterior descending artery: left main crossover vs. ostial stenting vs. DCB
- To explore the potential role of DCB in managing isolated ostial lesions
- To learn how to integrate multimodality assessment in decision making
