Program offers insights into cutting edge topics that cover local and global needs. A growing number of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) find themselves in need of PCI or coronary artery bypass graft surgery, but have been told they are too high-risk for complications that may occur during these procedures. Left without treatment options, these patients deal with worsening chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue and heart failure. This conference addresses the advanced PCI techniques used during CHIP include rotational, orbital and laser atherectomy (shaves away plaque from the vessel wall, especially calcified plaque), specialized antegrade and retrograde coronary artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) approaches and complex bifurcation stenting.
