Insight from recent evidence in coronary artery disease: value of DCB for de novo lesions (SELUTION) and imaging for left main PCI (OPTIMAL)
Facilitators:
E. Barbato, M. Haude
Discussants:
R. Byrne, J. Escaned
Summary
This session reviews pivotal recent evidence impacting daily practice in coronary artery disease management. It discusses the role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) for de novo lesions as evaluated in the SELUTION trial and evaluates intracoronary imaging strategies for left main PCI as presented in the OPTIMAL study. Case presentations complement the discussion to illustrate practical applications of these advances.
Learning Objectives
- To reflect about the impact of recent trials on daily practice
- To discuss about the value of drug-coated balloon in DeNovo lesions
- To review the current role of intracoronary imaging for left main PCI
