Overview
In this session, 'Imaging vs Angiography-led PCI: An Overview for DES Implantation' part of the ‘Optimising the Use of Contemporary Invasive Imaging for PCI’ series, a leading faculty consider the fundamentals of imaging and angiography and ask what the advantages are with using an imaging-led approach to PCI.
‘Optimising the Use of Contemporary Invasive Imaging for PCI aims to offer education on proper image acquisition, interpretation, and correct decision-making to optimise the use of contemporary imaging. The programme provides an overview of the current use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), the relative advantages of each technique and real-world insight from imaging experts.

Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session of ‘Imaging vs angiography-led PCI: An overview for DES implantation’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.
Target Audience
This programme is intended to educate:
- Cardiologists, interventionalists, physicians within the peripheral intervention space and imaging specialists.
Learning Objectives
The overall programme, ‘Optimising the Use of Contemporary Invasive Imaging for PCI’, endeavours to best address the following learning objectives:
- Incorporate contemporary imaging for PCI in appropriate patients
- Differentiate between modern imaging techniques based on clinical data
- Recall best practices for image acquisition, interpretation and decision-making
- Interpret image data and make clinical decisions generated from existing case study data
