Provisional stenting with a scaffold stent and DCB in calcified left main bifucation - LIVE Case
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
A 59-year-old male presented with CCS for three months, with diabetes and normal LV function (72%). Coronary angiography showed a calcified left main stenosis (Medina 1,1,1) and diffuse calcification of the proximal and mid LAD. The LCX QFR was 0.86.
Treatment included extensive lesion preparation with lithotripsy...
Bifurcations and left main interventions
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Delve into the complexities of bifurcation and left main coronary interventions with this session focusing on challenging cases and advanced techniques. Topics include management of complications during drug-eluting stent deployment, Impella-supported orbital atherectomy in heavily calcified lesions, and PCI in patients with severe comorbidities such as...
Precision in plaque management: hybrid techniques and IVUS imaging for optimal outcomes

Valve and structural: challenges and innovations
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This session explores innovative approaches and challenges in valve and structural interventions, including expanding transcatheter techniques for ruptured sinus of Valsalva closure and prophylactic chimney stenting in high-risk TAVI patients. It also presents long-term outcomes of left main PCI according to stenting methods, comparative strategies in...
Complex non left main bifurcation - LIVE Case
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
A 55-year-old male with no risk factors presented with an anterior STEMI treated by primary PCI of the LAD. Coronary angiography revealed triple-vessel disease. The RCA was treated one month later with a DCB, and the bifurcation LCX/OM (Medina 1,1,1) was treated during the live procedure....
Drug-coated balloons: a PREVAIL-ing gamechanger in complex PCI
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Focus on the evolving role of drug-coated balloons (DCB) in complex PCI, extending their use beyond traditional indications to challenging coronary lesions and high-risk patient populations. This session reviews clinical data from the SCAAR Prevail registry and discusses the evidence journey supporting broader advocacy for DCB...
Retrievals, foreign bodies and entrapments
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This session addresses the complexities of retrievals, foreign bodies, and entrapments in interventional cardiology. It presents clinical cases illustrating percutaneous retrieval techniques, management of catheter fractures, iatrogenic dissections, and innovative solutions for challenging scenarios. Emphasis is placed on precision, prevention strategies, and effective problem-solving to mitigate...
Very resistant stenosis in stent failure - LIVE Case
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
A 57-year-old male with a history of multivessel PCI—LAD and LCX stents in 2012 and RCA CTO stent in 2022—presented with normal LV function. He was asymptomatic but had a positive nuclear stress test. Control angiography showed suboptimal left coronary arteries with negative iFR. However, there...
