OVERVIEW
A national forum for complex PCI
Severely calcified coronary disease remains one of the principal determinants of procedural complexity, stent failure, suboptimal stent expansion and long-term adverse outcomes.
With increasing adoption of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) across Scotland, there is a clear opportunity to convene a national forum focused on imaging-led calcium assessment, contemporary lesion preparation strategies, hybrid modification techniques and evolving treatment paradigms.
Aimed at consultants and senior trainees, this meeting will act as a Scotland-wide platform for alignment in modern complex PCI practice.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
What you will learn
- Apply imaging (IVUS/OCT/CT) to guide calcium modification
- Select between NC escalation, IVL, atherectomy or hybrid strategies
- Safely implement hybrid approaches such as RotaShock and OrbitalShock
- Evaluate IVL + DCB strategies in selected lesions
- Understand emerging technologies and future treatment directions
- Identify areas for potential national collaboration
