Summary

This dynamic session from PCR's Got Talent Round 1 presents a diverse array of cutting-edge research and clinical findings. Topics include the influence of local and systemic inflammation on PCI outcomes, adherence to OCT-guided PCI metrics, comparative guidance strategies using angiography-derived FFR and IVUS, and the relationship between sympathetic nervous system activity and microvascular dysfunction. Additional highlights cover technical outcomes in complex CTO PCI, prognostic impacts of post-PCI QFR optimization, and extensive analyses of aortic valve replacement modalities, culminating in deliberations and results announcements for the next round.
