Overview

Filmed at Transcatheter Interventions Online (TIO) on 15 – 17 March 2023, this fascinating, educational breakout session is now available on demand.

 

Moderators Prof Jacek Legutko (Jagiellonian University Medical College, John Paul II Hospital, Krakow, PL) and Dr Joost Daemen (Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, NL) alongside a panel of experts discuss strategies on how to optimize complex PCIs in bifurcations and understand the applications of OpSens Optowire III and how it supports the clinical decision-making in a complex patient setting. 

 

This breakout begins with a presentation from Dr Vladimir Rubimbura, (University Hospital Centre Vaudois (CHUV), Lausanne, CH) where he discusses how 'Jailed Optowire III: from in vitro validation to daily practice' focuses on the performance, accuracy and freedom of the Jailed Optowire III. Following this Dr Tomas Korvanik (First Faculty of Medicine and General Teaching Hospital, Prague, CZ) presents the 'Physiology-guided PCI in bifurcations. Nightmare or reality?' which focuses on choosing the best PCI strategy.

 

Lastly, Dr Joost Daemen presents 'Does OptoWire III have what it takes to expand physiology boundaries in Physiology-Guided Bifurcation-PCI' where he focuses on post PCI physiology and how it prevents complex two stent techniques in bifurcation lesions.
