Overview
Join us for an informative video that explores the innovative approach of performing zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using advanced medical technologies and best practices. In recent years, contrast supply shortages and the need for improved patient outcomes have presented significant challenges in care delivery. In this video, our esteemed faculty will demonstrate the utilisation of the HDi® HD IVUS system and Kodama catheter, along with the RXi® system and Navvus®II microcatheter, to perform a zero-contrast PCI. By reducing contrast usage, improving acute kidney injury (AKI) rates, and delivering optimised patient outcomes, this video sheds light on how these cutting-edge techniques can revolutionise the field of interventional cardiology. Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into a novel approach that enhances care delivery while mitigating the impact of contrast supply shortages.
Learning Objectives
- To explore the benefits of contrast-free PCI using ACIST CVi system for diagnostic angiograms, ensuring safety for patients with kidney disease or conditions contraindicating contrast agent use.
- To understand the principles of imaging and HD intravascular ultrasound’s (IVUS) role in lesion assessment and stent placement.
- To understand the principles of microcatheter-based physiology measurements such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) or Pd/PA ratio or dPR (where available) and their role in assessing the functional significance of coronary lesions.
- To understand the integration of IVUS and physiology measurements in guiding the decision-making process for treatment of complex and challenging coronary artery disease (CAD) cases.
- To understand the importance of accurate lesion assessment and optimal stent placement in achieving successful outcomes for patients undergoing PCI procedures.
- To understand the potential complications associated with contrast agent use and the benefits of minimising contrast agents in PCI procedures, particularly in patients with kidney disease.
- To understand the uses and benefits of multiple cardiac care technologies and modalities from diagnostic to post procedure assessment and care.
