Clinical applications of IVUS, OCT and other intracoronary imaging techniques: practical simulation-based learning (Part 2)

19 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021

Often, angiography is not enough, and imaging can be very useful. In this session, originally presented during EuroPCR 2021, our experts use clinical cases to demonstrate that in all circumstances (ostial LAD, stent failure, bifurcation, calcified lesion, ACS...), imaging is quite simple to analyze and particularly...
