2023 CCC Symposium

The primary focus of this course is to present a multi-device approach to revascularization in patients with complex coronary artery disease. Use of physiology and anatomic imaging guiding interventions will be discussed and emphasized on the case-by-case basis. Technical issues that occur while performing complex interventions will be demonstrated using the live case format. Invited faculty will lead live case presentations as platforms for discussion and will emphasize treatment of unprotected left main disease, heavily calcified lesions, bifurcation lesions, CTO, and severe LV dysfunction. We have also added an interactive section of focused case based presentations on a few common controversial topics with faculty and audience responses.

Live cases, emphasizing the technical aspects, will be performed while evidence-based practice guidelines for appropriateness of revascularization will be discussed. Within the live case format, current topics will be presented to provide interventional cardiologists with state-of-the-art information for managing patients as the dynamic field of interventional cardiology continues to evolve. During the symposium, we expect to emphasize the long-term role of interventional cardiology in managing complex coronary lesions using multi-device synergy in a safe and effective manner. There will be a live case session dedicated to post TAVR angiography and PCI after BEV as well as SEV.
