Complex left main bifurcation PCI - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Follow this case of a 65-year-old male with hypertension, a smoker with increasing angina. The coronary angiography found ostial calcified LAD and Circonflex confirmed by IVUS, with a preserved LV function.
The operators decided to perform a PCI of the distal left main with the DK-Crush technique...
Bifurcation PCI with TAP technique - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
A 72-year-old lady with dyslipidemia, hypertension and aspirin intolerance presented an NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a distal CX occlusion and a long calcified significant stenosis on proximal LAD with LAD/D3 bifurcation lesion, and a reduced LV function (47%).
Watch the operators as they perform an important...
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...
Image-guided PCI of distal left main disease
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Exploring a recorded case of image-guided PCI of distal left main disease, as well as a new paradigm in AI-driven imaging, and learn how coronary imaging aids in decision-making, optimises final outcomes, and enhances stent clarity to guide results in complex PCI procedures. Watch now to deepen...
Complex calcified left main bifurcation - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
An 82-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, a history of Micra and RCA PCI 2 years later, was admitted for NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a very calcified distal left main stenosis, a significant and calcified ostial LAD stenosis (medina: 1 1 0), confirmed by IVUS. She...
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...
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...
