Overview
In the first part of this series of three live webinars on 'Overcoming the Complexities of Coronary Intervention – Contemporary PCI in LM Disease Series', our faculty of renowned international experts walk you through the challenges of treating left main aorta-ostial disease beginning with an overview lecture focusing on stenting techniques and image-guided optimization strategies, followed by interactive case-in-point from Korea and UAE showcasing the use of imaging and advanced PCI guidance tools for the treatment of aorta-ostial lesions.
The webinar was chaired by Dr Jose de la Torre and features an international faculty including Dr Do-Yoon Kang, Dr Albert Alahmar, Dr Raymond Chi-Yan Fung. On-line, interactive audience Q&A was facilitated by moderator Dr Tamara Garcia Camarero.
