Live Session
Moderator Prof James Spratt is joined by an expert faculty of Prof José M de la Torre Hernández, Dr Gabriele Luigi Gasparini and Prof Stephane Carlier for an insightful broadcast focusing on the role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in enhancing Left Main (LM) outcomes. This case-based session provides a strong understanding of the latest evidence supporting the use of IVUS to optimise treatment strategies, share practical insights and key lessons, and educational tools to reach optimal patient outcomes.

Live Case 3
The third live case was focused on choosing stent strategy for left main bifurcations and features a broadcast from Clinique Saint Augustin in Bordeaux with Dr Oliver Darremont and Dr Nicolas Boudou. The patient had what appeared to be a very tight distal LMS trifurcation. Guidance of High Definition IVUS and the provisional approach resulted in a single stent from LCX to LM. Operators appreciated the extra strength and dedicated design of Synergy Megatron.

Live Case 4
The fourth live case focussed on lesion preparation with a broadcast from Humanitas Research Hospital in Milan with Dr Bernhard Reimers and Dr Gabriele Luigi Gasparini operating with IVUS commentary by Dr Damiano Regazzoli Lancini. A very complex case was chosen with a subtotal occlusion of a very calcified and tortuous LAD and left main disease with many challenges trying to get into the distal LAD. The left main was assessed with IVUS. Eventually the subintimal track was dilated and the patient will be brought back in a few months for PCI.

Live Case 5
In Live Case 5 the operators used both physiology and IVUS to guide their decision making. Comet pressure wire in the circumflex showed negative DFR and FFR readings, and IVUS showed no disease at the circumflex ostium so they decided to go with a stepwise provisional strategy. They systematically used IVUS to plan the stent strategy (pullbacks in both LAD and LCX) and very thoroughly demonstrated how to assess “the 3 L’s - lesion, length, and landing zones”. A second stent was deployed and final angiographic result was excellent. A systematic, planned, clear, concise and expertly delivered case.

Live Case 10
In Live Case 10 Prof James Spratt (St George’s University Hospital NHS Trust, London, UK) moderators a live broadcast on an important topic on Left Main PCI and 'The Role of Intravascular Imaging in the Left Main'. The broadcast starts with a live case from one of the major centres in Kuwait (Mubarak Alkabeer Hospital – Cardiac Catheterization & Research Unit, Jabriya, KW) where case operators Dr Abdullah Esmaiel, Dr Fahad Alhajri and Dr Ali Alsulaimi present a case with a 49-year-old male patient who has a history of CAD, HTN and HLD.
This expert panel examine their approaches and that they would use imaging, then the live case centre goes on further to discuss what their approach would be using IVUS to map out the case. Following the live case, Dr Kalaivani Mahadevan (Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust) explains 'Overcoming the Barriers to Intracoronary Imaging in Left Main PCI'. Lastly, Dr Ahmed Waqar (King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital Jedda, SA) presents 'IVUS for LM Intervention'.
