NIRS-guided PCI: beyond calcium to precision PCI
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session explores how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is redefining PCI by revealing what angiography cannot see. By identifying lipid-rich and vulnerable plaques, NIRS helps anticipate procedural risk and refine decision-making before stent implantation. The session shows how plaque composition, rather than calcium alone, can guide lesion...
Challenging CTO Interventions - Part 2
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session addresses the complexities of chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions with a collection of challenging cases employing advanced techniques. Topics include IVUS-assisted recanalisation, hybrid approaches incorporating 3D wiring, retrograde interventions after antegrade failure, and management of procedural complications such as vessel rupture. The session also...
Abstracts - Part 2
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session compiles recent clinical abstracts addressing diverse topics in interventional cardiology. Highlights include the HYBRID-CTO approach from a prospective case series, the cardiovascular impact of empagliflozin in type 2 diabetes, off-label use of intravascular lithotripsy for resistant in-stent lesions, and experiences with non-hyperaemic pressure ratios...
