OVERVIEW

The core objective of this course is to elucidate a comprehensive, multi-device approach to revascularization in patients grappling with complex coronary artery disease focusing on calcified bifurcation lesions. The utilization of physiological and anatomical imaging to guide interventions will be thoroughly deliberated and underscored on a case-by-case basis. Technical intricacies encountered during the execution of complex interventions will be vividly demonstrated through live case presentations.

Esteemed faculty members, serving as our invited experts, will spearhead the live case presentations, fostering interactive discussions centered on the treatment modalities for a spectrum of challenging scenarios of various types of calcified bifurcation lesions in patients with varying degree of left ventricular dysfunction.

Moreover, we have incorporated an interactive segment comprising focused, case-based presentations on several contentious topics, inviting active participation from both faculty and attendees.

Live cases, with a primary focus on technical nuances, will be conducted alongside an in-depth discussion of evidence-based practice guidelines governing the appropriateness of revascularization strategies. Within this dynamic live case format, contemporary themes will be explored, furnishing interventional cardiologists with cutting-edge insights essential for adept patient management amidst the ever-evolving landscape of interventional cardiology.

Throughout the symposium, we will highlight the enduring role of interventional cardiology in addressing complex calcified bifurcations lesions, leveraging the synergistic potential of multiple devices to ensure safe and efficacious outcomes over the long term.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is specifically designed for:

• Interventional Cardiologists who manage patients with complex, challenging anatomy for revascularization
• Cardiology Fellows with an interest in Interventional Cardiology
• Nurses, Technicians, and other Allied Health Care Professionals who work in Cardiac Catheterization and Vascular Laboratories

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The overarching objective of this program is to enrich knowledge and deepen comprehension of diverse interventional techniques and devices for the management of complex coronary disease.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be empowered to:

• Discern the most suitable revascularization strategy for patients presenting with unprotected left main disease and multivessel complex bifurcation coronary artery disease (CAD).
• Evaluate and choose the optimal interventional approach for coronary bifurcation lesions and heavily calcified lesions.
• Appraise and determine the appropriateness of cases warranting the utilization of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs).
• Differentiate between cases meriting surgical intervention versus those best suited for percutaneous revascularization.
