Challenging scenarios in NSTEMI
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features selected clinical case submissions that explore complex and challenging scenarios encountered in the management of NSTEMI patients. Participants will delve into discussions on topics such as coronary artery aneurysm, restenosis of coronary ostial stents, right-sided chest pain, subsequent occlusions of the left anterior...
The value of IVUS during CTO PCI
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session explores the role of IVUS imaging in the management of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) during PCI procedures. Participants will learn how IVUS can help in navigating the true lumen, utilizing retrograde plaque/flap lift-and-shift techniques, managing false lumen entry, and addressing other challenging scenarios in...
Upgrade to retrograde: when and how?
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session delves into the decision-making for transitioning to a retrograde approach in CTO PCI, covering effective techniques and safety considerations for successful outcomes, through cases involving antegradely induced hematomas and ambiguous CTO caps, alongside severe distal atherosclerosis.
Antegrade CTO - LIVE case
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session features a LIVE educational case from Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, focusing on the management of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) using an antegrade approach. Participants will learn how to identify CTO anatomy through dual injection, as well as how to perform IVUS-guided...
