Overview

In this session, ‘Intracoronary imaging for PCI: A practical approach to OCT’ 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. 

Support Statement

This programme is supported by unrestricted educational grant by Abbott. The scientific programme has not been influenced in any way by the sponsors.

Disclosure

In compliance with EBAC / EACCME guidelines, all speakers/chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations.
The Organising Committee/Course Director is responsible for ensuring that all potential conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities.

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 ‘Intracoronary imaging for PCI: A practical approach to OCT' 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

  • Cardiologists
  • Interventionalists
  • Physicians within the peripheral intervention space
  • Imaging specialists

Learning Objectives

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

  • 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
