Stable CAD and multivessel disease

20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

This session delves into the management of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) with multivessel involvement. Learn how clinical and procedural factors influence revascularisation strategies, debate the merits of complete revascularisation, and explore decision-making processes between anatomical and functional approaches through illustrative cases and expert analysis.

Calcified left main bifurcation PCI: how to evaluate and how best to treat - LIVE case

04 Mar 2023 – From AfricaPCR 2023

A 62-year-old male with hormonal treatment (metastatic prostate carcinoma) presents an exertion angina due to an MVD: severe calcified stenoses of distal left main (medina 1-1-1), mid LAD and prox CX.
Watch how the operators prepare LAD and CX lesions with Rotablator (Burrs: 1.25 + 1.75) then...
