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...

Calcium modification and atherectomy

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

This session addresses the challenges of calcium modification and atherectomy in complex coronary interventions. It features case studies on stent deformation, advanced calcium modification strategies including orbital and laser atherectomy, imaging-guided approaches, and management of complications such as stent dislodgement, offering comprehensive insights into contemporary techniques...

Acute stroke interventions

11 Oct 2025 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2025

This session provides an in-depth look at acute stroke interventions from a vascular and interventional cardiology perspective. It covers cerebral vascular anatomy relevant to stroke, various mechanical thrombectomy techniques, and the expanding role of interventional cardiologists in acute stroke management, illustrated through case presentations.

BRIGHT-4 – Bivalirudin plus a high-dose infusion versus heparin monotherapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomised trial

07 Nov 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BRIGHT-4 study, which was presented during AHA 2022 in Chicago, & simultaneously published in the Lancet.

This study was a randomised control trial designed to assess if bivalirudin plus a high dose infusion for 2-4 hours post PPCI was superior to unfractionated...

How to perform angiographic check after large-sheath removal in single access procedures

18 Mar 2024

In the absence of other arterial access, this step-by-step tutorial shows how to perform anterograde angiography of the arterial axis after removal of the large sheath, making it easier to recognise and rapidly manage vascular complications such as arterial lesions and haemostasis failure.
