Overview

This three-part programme delves into the critical importance of individualised antithrombotic treatment in both Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS).

 

Part one of this programme presents two compelling patient case studies. Prof Pascal Vranckx (Hartcentrum Hasselt, BE) presents a complex 62-year old male with stable angina and HFrEF, undergoing an elective angiography and Prof Eliano Navarese (Nicolaus Copernicus University, PL) presents a 62-year-old male with persistent chest pain, transferred for PCI within 24 hours of onset. 

 

In part two, during a roundtable chaired by Prof Marco Valgimigli (Instituto Cardiocentro Ticino, Lugano, CH), our panel of experts review the two intriguing patient cases, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced and highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches. This roundtable brings to the forefront impactful new trial data that will reshape the way we approach antithrombotic therapies in ACS and CCS.

 

The panel, including Prof Vijay Kunadian (Newcastle University, UK), discuss practical solutions to common challenges experienced in real-world practice whilst summarising the new recommendations for antithrombotic treatment strategies in ACS and CCS patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) made in the 2022 joint clinical consensus statement of the European Association of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (EAPCI), Association for Acute Cardiovascular Care (ACVC) and European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC).

 

In the final part, we offer a short but impactful follow-up on the patient journey.
