Complex bifurcation interventions
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session examines complex bifurcation interventions, addressing challenging cases such as isolated Medina 0,0,1 left main bifurcation and imaging-guided trifurcation angioplasty in acute coronary syndromes. It emphasizes strategic approaches and device selection to overcome anatomical complexities, manage complications, and achieve successful outcomes in bifurcation PCI.
Calcified lesions: caught between a rock and a hard place
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session focuses on the challenges of treating calcified coronary lesions, emphasizing the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided rotablation and the limitations of rotatripsy in complex bifurcation angioplasty. It covers innovative strategies including off-label Shockwave lithotripsy in stented lesions, management of calcified nodules, and approaches to...
Abstracts session 1
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This abstracts session presents contemporary research and clinical insights in interventional cardiology, covering topics such as colchicine therapy post-stenting, ranolazine use in chronic coronary syndrome, artificial intelligence applications in quantitative coronary analysis, and optimization techniques in transcatheter aortic valve implantation. It also explores novel predictors of...
Challenging cases from the East
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session from Eastern cardiology centers addresses complex interventional challenges including recurrent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) failure, management of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) complications, and treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions. Through detailed case presentations and key learnings, it offers valuable insights into successful...

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...
Unusual and high-stakes interventions
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This session presents a series of unusual and high-stakes interventional cardiology cases that challenge conventional approaches. It includes critical scenarios such as narrow escapes from fatal outcomes, innovative solutions like complete percutaneous repair of adult tetralogy of Fallot, and management of valve complications, providing valuable insights...
