- decisions regarding management and indication of percutaneous
circulatory support for patients with hemodynamic complications of
coronary artery disease (CAD), specifically represented by stable
syndromes and very depressed left ventricular function, and acute
syndromes complicated by cardiogenic shock
- options related to timing of interventions: indication for
ad hoc angioplasty, for simultaneous treatment of
culprit and non-culprit lesions in acute coronary syndromes, for
staged percutaneous revascularization in multivessel disease, and
for combined or staged interventions in patients with associated
coronary, carotid and peripheral disease
- decisions regarding management of acute intraprocedural
complications, like coronary dissection or perfuration, the
no-reflow phenomenon, and distal coronary embolization
- patient selection for percutaneous intervention in massive
pulmonary embolism, end-stage aortic stenosis, and hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy.
To accomplish our goals, we have invited several internationally
known leaders in the field of interventional cardiology.
We hope that this unique in-depth presentation of challenging
patients and procedural subsets will be of great value to clinical
as well as interventional cardiologists worldwide.
