DCB and intracoronary imaging: Navigating complex coronary interventions
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
This session explores the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) and intracoronary imaging techniques in complex coronary interventions. It features a series of case presentations highlighting the application of technologies like near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and physiology-guided approaches to optimize outcomes in challenging scenarios. The...

Complex CTO - LIVE case
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
View the case of an 82-year-old man with history of CABG in 2003 (LIMA LAD, VG RCA, VG CX), PCIs on VG RCA in 2021, PCIs VG-CX in 2022, PPM in 2023 with preserved LV function, and follow the retrograde approach of calcified CX CTO using...

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'...

A hybrid approach in complex PCI: can DES and DCB be complementary?
21 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
Watch this case-based session to follow discussion about how to choose between DES & DCB, how both can be complementary in diffuse disease as well as in complex PCI, and how physiology and imaging can help guiding PCI, and follow a patient's treatment live.
