Treatment strategies for calcified left main stenosis
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Experience the complex nuances of managing calcified left main stenosis in this case series, digging into the innovative interventions and evidence-based techniques that hold the key to overcoming this challenging clinical scenario.
DEFINE FLAIR 5-year and Reveal iFR: learnings on coronary physiology
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Javier Escaned invites Justin Davies and Patrick Serruys to give an update on two trials presented at EuroPCR 2023: DEFINE-FLAIR 5-year follow-up and Reveal iFR.
DEFINE-FLAIR was the largest physiological study of its kind at the time, testing iFR in a non-inferior setting against FFR. The data...
Modern management of PCI in complex lesions
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Watch Mirvat Alasnag, Ajay Kirtane and Flavio Ribichini as they talk modern PCI right in the middle of EuroPCR 2023.
They start by distinguishing between a complex patient and a complex lesion, and go on to define a complex PCI. Then they highlight the role of intracoronary...
New developments in intravascular lithotripsy after 5 years of clinical practice
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Angela McInerney and James Spratt look back at 5 years of intravascular lithotripsy and how it has evolved from its beginnings to the present day.
Calcium has always been a very complex issue especially in older patients, but the tools to treat it were somewhat limited....
The PECTUS trial, OCT for identification of vulnerable plaques and its impact on clinical outcomes
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Niels Van Royen and Lorenz Räber discuss a very emerging topic: the vulnerable plaque, and more specifically the related PECTUS Trial. They address the question of why vulnerable plaques should be detected and what can be done with the results, before looking at the study design...
What are the INOCA endotypes and how to diagnose?
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Following the release of the EAPCI Expert Consensus on ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), Vijay Kunadian and Javier Escaned discuss the different types of angina and the mechanisms of ischaemia as well as the options available to better diagnose this condition.
PCR Perspectives - a contemporary approach to the invasive diagnosis of MINOCA
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Nina Van Der Hoeven and Colin Berry seize the opportunity of meeting at the heart of EuroPCR 2023 to discuss the diagnostic approach of MINOCA. As they explain, everything is primarily determined in the cathlab, thanks to angiograms. Further investigations are then required to exclude other causes than...
A stepwise physiological escalation strategy for the optimal management of chronic coronary syndrome in 2023
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In this session focused on epicardial and microcirculatory dysfunction, discuss how to treat both a 72-year-old smoker man with HTN, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, who presented with angina and dyspnea with moderate exertion over the last months, and a 69-year-old ex-smoker man with HTN and untreated LDL 125...
Robotic PCI: real-life experience with a new robotic platform
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
The current problems in interventional cardiology have been the same for years: exposure to X-rays, or orthopaedic injuries to operators after decades in the cathlab. The solution to these problems could lie in robotics and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in practice. Follow this session...
Physiologic guidance and optimisation in multivessel disease
16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Follow the case study of this 70-year-old ex-smoker male patient with HTN, dyslipidemia, previous primary PCI to proximal and mid LAD because of anterolateral STEMI, presenting with syncope, and find out, through the debates around his treatment, how to use physiology in 2023.
