Renal, inflammation and protection strategies in PCI
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Delve into renal protection and inflammation management strategies in PCI, with a focus on renal blood flow indicators in chronic heart failure, the protective role of exosomes in myocardial ischemia, and efficacy of renal guard devices against contrast-induced nephropathy. The session also examines radial artery occlusion...
Calcified bifurcation lesion - LIVE case
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
A 59-year-old female patient with type 2 DM, dyslipidaemia, hypothyroidism and impaired LV function (39%) presented with multivessel disease. RCA PCI was performed 3 days ago.
The prox and mid LAD showed a severe calcified lesion including the diagonal. The lesion was prepared using a 1.25 Rotaglide™ ('single-person'...
Navigating complex CTO scenarios
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
In this session, delve into the complexities of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) interventions: explore advanced techniques like the balloon anchoring method for uncrossable CTO lesions and the use of IVUS to detect the distal cap of RCA CTO after CABG, and gain insights into managing unexpected...
