The primary focus of this course is to present a multi-device approach to complex revascularization of patients with complex coronary, valvular and peripheral vascular disease. The critical role of coronary physiology interims of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and anatomical imaging with IVUS, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), in guiding interventions will be discussed and emphasized on the case-by-case basis. Various novel interventional devices and techniques such as orbital atherectomy, alcohol septal ablation, valvuloplasty, percutaneous valve replacement and complex peripheral vascular intervention will be emphasized. Technical issues regarding retrograde CTO techniques will be demonstrated using the live case format. Treatment of emerging problems such as unprotected left main disease, heavily calcified lesions, bifurcation lesions, total occlusions, carotid and peripheral lesions will be emphasized by the faculty using live case presentations as platforms for discussion.

Appropriateness of a revascularization choice and evidence-based practice guidelines will be discussed while simple and complex live cases are being performed. Within the live case format, current topics will be presented to provide interventional cardiologists and vascular interventionalists with state-of-the-art information for managing patients as the dynamic field of interventional cardiology and endovascular intervention continues to evolve. Through discussion and viewing of live cases, we expect to emphasize the long-term role of interventional cardiology in managing particular lesion subsets.
