Overview
During the "Advances in Intravascular imaging" course in London, Simple Education, in association with Radcliffe Cardiology, filmed a roundtable discussion focusing on the topical area of 'The role of IVUS in Contemporary PCI'.
This discussion was moderated by Dr Andrew Sharp (Exeter, UK) who was joined by an expert group of physicians including Prof Takashi Akasaka (Wakayama, Japan), Prof Carlo di Mario (Florence, Italy), Prof Jacek Legutko (Krakow, Poland) and Dr Peter O'Kane (Bournemouth, UK).
The meeting comprised of three panel discussions on a range of topical issues related to all aspects of IVUS Imaging.
Panellists
- Dr Andrew Sharp (Exeter, UK)
- Prof Takashi Akasaka (Wakayama, JP)

Faculty Biographies
Andrew SP Sharp
Professor of Cardiology
Andrew Sharp qualified from Edinburgh Medical School in 1998 and subsequently pursued an MD postgraduate research degree at the University of Edinburgh. His doctoral research focused on the hypertensive heart, establishing a foundation for his ongoing clinical and academic interest in hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Clinical Training & Early Career
Dr Sharp completed his early clinical training at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh before moving to London for senior clinical training at the hospitals of Imperial College London. He then undertook the prestigious Milan-Imperial Interventional Cardiology Fellowship programme, which included a year in Milan at San Raffaele and Columbus Hospitals, where he trained under leading experts in interventional cardiology. This combination of UK and international training shaped his expertise in complex coronary interventions and device-based therapies.
