Summary

This session elucidates the role of non-invasive coronary CT and angiography-derived physiology in guiding lesion selection for drug-eluting balloon PCI. It emphasises integrating anatomical and physiological data to refine lesion preparation, strategy, and validation beyond angiography, and identifies scenarios where DEB PCI may not be optimal, facilitating practical decision-making in daily cath lab practice.

Learning Objectives

To understand how to select appropriate lesions for DEB PCI using anatomical and physiological principles
To learn how anatomy and physiology can guide lesion preparation, strategy refinement and final result validation, even beyond angiography alone
To recognise when DEB PCI may not be the optimal strategy, and how to adapt your approach
To translate advanced tools (coronary CT angiography, angiography-derived physiology) into practical decision making applicable to daily cathlab practice
