Part 1 | Session 2 How Intravascular Imaging will Change your PCI Strategy
Contemporary invasive imaging techniques improve the detection of coronary details and have great potential for improving clinical outcomes, due the lower risk of in-stent restenosis and thrombosis. This webinar series 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.
This programme has been designed to offer education on proper image acquisition, interpretation, and correct decision-making to optimise the use of contemporary imaging.
Note, this on-demand version is not CME accredited.

Learning Objectives
- 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
Target Audience
- Interventional cardiologists
- Physicians within the peripheral intervention space
- Imaging specialists
