Fostering patient care with calcium management solution
18 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
This sponsored session by Abbott explores the value of intracoronary imaging in managing calcified lesions. Learn how to adopt appropriate procedural strategies, utilize orbital atherectomy for plaque modification, and optimize stent results through the insights gained from a live case presentation and debriefing. Discover how these...
A randomised trial of sirolimus- versus paclitaxel-coated balloons for de novo coronary lesions
05 Dec 2024
The present study compares a novel sirolimus-coated balloon with a clinically proven paclitaxel-coated balloon for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions, demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of angiographic late lumen loss at 6 months.

“BIO-PCI” the turning point of vascular interventions?
03 Dec 2024
Discuss the rationale of a PCI strategy with minimal metal as a turning point of vascular interventions with Flavio Luciano Ribichini, Salvatore Brugaletta and Piera Capranzano.
Ultrasound-guided versus fluoroscopy-guided large-bore femoral access in PCI of complex coronary lesions: the international, multicentre, randomised ULTRACOLOR Trial
02 Dec 2024
Compared to fluoroscopy guidance, routine use of ultrasound for large-bore transfemoral access in complex PCI did not significantly reduce clinically relevant bleeding or vascular complications. However, it notably improved first-pass puncture success, with a very low crossover rate.

“Big and heavy” – TAVI in a severely calcified aortic stenosis with large annulus
22 Nov 2024
An 89-year-old male presented with worsening HF symptoms and a history of permanent AF and chronic renal failure. TTE confirmed severe AS, while coronary angiography revealed single vessel disease. He was referred to a heart valve center for further evaluation, where multislice computed tomography showed a...

Optical coherence tomography predictors of clinical outcomes after stent implantation: the ILUMIEN IV trial
04 Nov 2024
The aim of this pre-specified analysis of the ILUMIEN IV trial was to assess the relationship between post-PCI OCT parameters of suboptimal stent implantation and clinical outcomes.

05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Immerse yourself in the latest advancements and insights from the AICT-AsiaPCR 2024 Abstract submissions. This captivating session covers a diverse range of topics, from the cost-effectiveness of functional syntax score versus anatomical syntax score in treatment strategy, to the temporal trends in left main bifurcation PCI....
How should I treat complex lesion from the intracoronary imaging view?
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
Intracoronary imaging plays a crucial role in guiding treatment strategies for complex lesions. This session delves into the use of various imaging modalities, such as IVUS and OCT, to optimize PCI outcomes. Explore real-world case examples, including a sudden coronary arrest caused by focal stenosis with...
Complex calcified left main bifurcation - LIVE case
05 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
An 82-year-old woman with diabetes, hypertension, a history of Micra and RCA PCI 2 years later, was admitted for NSTEMI. The coronary angiography showed a very calcified distal left main stenosis, a significant and calcified ostial LAD stenosis (medina: 1 1 0), confirmed by IVUS. She...
