Caught between a calcified rock and a hard place
19 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
This session delves into the challenges of managing heavily calcified coronary lesions, particularly in complex scenarios like left main bifurcation angioplasty and in elderly patients with unstable angina. Explore innovative techniques to tackle abrupt vessel closure, situations where rotablation may fall short, and state-of-the-art approaches for...
Left main bifurcation instent restenosis - LIVE case
18 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
A 76-year-old male with a history of LM PCI (2-stent strategy), RCA PCI, reduced LV function (25%), diabetes, and CKD presented with worsening angina. Angiography revealed in-stent restenosis at the ostium of the LAD and CX, along with RCA occlusion.
The procedure was performed with axillary Impella...
