Track: Interventional Cardiology

Interventional Cardiology

Innovations and Techniques in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Care. Interventional cardiology has revolutionized the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, offering less invasive options that reduce recovery time and improve patient outcomes. This session will provide a comprehensive exploration of the latest techniques and advancements in the field, with a special focus on atherectomy, angioplasty, and interventional radiology. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the practical applications, challenges, and future directions of these essential procedures.

Session Highlights:

Atherectomy: Precision in Plaque Removal
Techniques and Technologies: Discover the various types of atherectomy devices and their specific applications in removing atherosclerotic plaque from arteries.
Clinical Applications: Case studies highlighting the effectiveness of atherectomy in complex cases, including calcified and fibrotic lesions.

Angioplasty: Expanding Treatment Horizons
Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting: An overview of traditional and drug-eluting stents, and their role in treating coronary artery disease.
Advancements in Balloon Technology: Explore the latest developments in balloon angioplasty, including drug-coated balloons and biodegradable stents.

Interventional Radiology: Imaging-Guided Interventions
Role in Cardiology: The expanding role of interventional radiology in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular conditions, including non-coronary interventions.
Advanced Imaging Techniques: How innovations in imaging, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), are enhancing the precision of interventional procedures.

Interactive Elements:
  • Live Demonstrations and Workshops: Hands-on sessions where participants can observe live procedures and interact with leading experts to deepen their understanding of complex techniques.
  • Case Discussions: Engage in in-depth discussions of challenging cases, where experts will share their insights and strategies for successful interventions.
