Cracking open the discussion on the clinical experience with intravascular lithotripsy in acute coronary syndromes
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Explore this session to uncover the common association between calcium and acute coronary syndrome, and how intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) offers a safe solution for calcified lesions, with comparable procedural success rates. However, note that ACS cases involving calcium may lead to higher major adverse cardiac events...
Acute coronary syndromes due to coronary dissection
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will explore various cases of acute coronary syndromes caused by coronary dissection. Participants will learn about the diagnosis, management, and treatment strategies for spontaneous coronary artery dissection, including the use of imaging and interventional techniques to address these challenging cases.
ACS: multimodality imaging saves the day
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores various challenging acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cases where multimodality imaging, such as emergency cardiac CT, IVUS, and other techniques, played a crucial role in diagnosis and management. The cases cover a wide range of scenarios, including right coronary artery ACS, STEMI with a...
