This Breakout, held at Transcatheter Interventions Online 2024, explored the pivotal role of education in enhancing outcomes for patients with LM disease. The faculty explore the transformative impact of imaging on LM management and patient outcomes, and consider a systematic algorithm designed to optimise IVUS utilisation in LM treatment, offering step-by-step guidance for improved clinical decision-making.
Engage in this enlightening session as the faculty unravel key strategies for advancing care in LM disease management.
