Overview

In the second of this series of three live webinars on 'Overcoming the Complexities of Coronary Intervention – Contemporary PCI in LM Disease Series', discover more on the next steps of using image-guided stent optimization strategies in treating Left Main Bifurcation lesions – an area which carries the risk of occluding side branches and involving a higher rate of in-stent-restenosis (*1).

This live webinar, moderated by Dr Jose de la Torre, with a group of renowned operators will demonstrate how these challenges can be addressed through recorded case-in-point from international centres lectures.

 

Join the LIVE broadcast on Thursday 30th September

09:00CEST / 10:00GST / 14:00 ICT / 15:00HKT / 17:00AEST
