Hybrid procedure: Stent and DCB for a long diffuse lesion - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
A 40-year-old male with no comorbidities presented an NSTEMI. The angiography showed a focus lesion on the mid-CX and a diffuse lesion on the mid and distal LAD. The LAD FFR are 0.49 with a diffuse pullback gradient.
After Stent in mid-CX guided by OCT, the operators...
Optimising outcomes in treating multivessel disease - LIVE case
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
A 75-year-old male with hypertension, dyslipidemia and a lot of co-morbidities presented a positive echo stress test. The coronary angiography showed diffuse calcified disease on LAD, CX, OM1 and RCA. There is significant stenosis on ostial RCA, mid LAD, mid CX and OM1.
After physiology assessment...
Cracking new horizons across all calcium morphologies
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
This session explores the challenges of treating calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Learn how calcium can impede stent deliverability and expansion, potentially leading to thrombosis and restenosis. Discover the innovative Shockwave IVL technology, which uses sonic pressure waves to fracture calcium without harming surrounding...
Effect of colchicine on coronary plaque stability in acute coronary syndrome as assessed by optical coherence tomography: the COLOCT randomized clinical trial
27 Aug 2024
The rationale for this study was to provide direct evidence of colchicine's effects on plaque stabilization, particularly by assessing changes in plaque characteristics using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
