Overview

In this session, ‘Imaging vs angiography-led PCI: What does success look like?’ part of the ‘Optimising the Use of Contemporary Invasive Imaging for PCI’ series a leading faculty discuss the use of imaging and angiography for procedural planning and PCI optimisation. Through the use of cases, faculty will explore how imaging has been used to maximise successful stent implantation.

 

‘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.
