Overview

Prof. Gerald Werner (Klinikum Darmstadt, Germany) presents this webinar on the use of IVUS imaging for the assessment of chronic total occlusions.

This webinar is intended to educate interventional cardiologists, interventional fellows and related healthcare professionals, and discusses and analyses the role of intravascular imaging during PCI for chronic total occlusions, focusing on the main applications in this context from lesion assessment to stent sizing and optimisation.

The webinar/clinical case scenarios will:

  • Provide the background for chronic total occlusions and its treatment
  • Identify the challenges associated with use of PCI for chronic total occlusions
  • Highlight the role and use of IVUS in PCI, including rationale for its use versus coronary angiography
  • Discuss clinical evidence for the use of IVUS in chronic total occlusions
  • Present a workflow algorithm, outlining the steps involved in the practical use of IVUS in chronic total occlusions, in different scenarios (for different approaches such as antegrade and retrograde approaches and for stent optimisation)
  • Discuss real-life case studies, incorporating the relevant components of the workflow algorithm relating to each case
