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...
CTO techniques and strategies
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Explore advanced techniques and strategic approaches in chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions, including novel methods for severely calcified lesions, bifurcation management, and complex anatomies such as right main CTOs. The session highlights epicardial collateral navigation, device synergy for calcified coronary disease, indigenous perforation techniques, and ultra-low...
Complex coronary interventions - Current day challenges and solutions
11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
Addressing current challenges in complex coronary interventions, this session covers management strategies for CHIP patients, advanced techniques for highly calcified lesions, and principles for mechanical circulatory support application in high-risk PCI scenarios. It offers practical insights and case-based discussions to optimize safety and efficacy in contemporary...
Complex coronary challenges and anomalies
10 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This session explores complex coronary challenges and anatomical anomalies encountered in clinical practice. Topics include management of thrombus showers from unexpected culprits, ultra-low contrast angioplasty in mesenteric ischemia, advanced bifurcation PCI techniques with IVUS guidance, and troubleshooting difficult stent delivery scenarios in calcified lesions and challenging...
IVUS or OCT? Choosing the right imaging for the right lesion - A case-based debate
10 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025
This case-based debate examines the complementary roles of IVUS and OCT imaging modalities in precision PCI. It highlights lesion-specific factors guiding modality choice, including left main disease, bifurcations, calcified plaques, and acute coronary syndromes, supported by real-world clinical cases demonstrating imaging-based decision-making.
