Learning Objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will be able to: 

• identify complex lesion characteristics that may benefit from an intracoronary imaging-guided approach to PCI, specifically using optical coherence tomography;
• understand optimisation criteria used in OCCUPI and will be aware of their challenges; and 
• gain insights into the practical aspects of implementing OCT-guided coronary interventions in clinical practice.

Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To understand how to safely and efficiently integrate OCT into daily clinical practice for CHIP-PCI and PCI in left main stem lesions, calcified lesions, bifurcations and long lesions.

Context – With the objective of attaining better quality of llfe for patients, interventional cardiologists should be aware that the 2024 ESC Guidelines on CCS implemented a Class I/A-recommendation for use of intracoronary imaging in complex lesion subsets for patients undergoing PCI. This is part of an initiative to provide healthcare professionals with enhanced procedural knowledge into the safe and effective utilisation of intracoronary imaging tools to optimise PCI.
