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...
TAVI in small annulus - LIVE Case
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
A 65-year-old female with obesity, diabetes mellitus, a history of stroke, atrial fibrillation, and RBBB on ECG, presented with symptomatic aortic stenosis and two-vessel coronary disease (OM and LAD, QFR: 0.70). Echocardiography and CT showed normal LV function (55%), a small annulus (370 mm²), and a...
Precision without a scaffold - When, why and how to use DCB in de novo lesions
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session provided an in-depth examination of drug-coated balloon (DCB) use in de novo coronary lesions, emphasizing patient selection, lesion preparation, and procedural technique. Clinical evidence and real-world cases illustrated when and why DCBs represent a precise alternative to stenting, particularly in small vessels, high bleeding...

NIRS-guided PCI: beyond calcium to precision PCI
11 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session explores how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is redefining PCI by revealing what angiography cannot see. By identifying lipid-rich and vulnerable plaques, NIRS helps anticipate procedural risk and refine decision-making before stent implantation. The session shows how plaque composition, rather than calcium alone, can guide lesion...
