Overview

This webinar is intended to educate interventional cardiologists and cathlab staff on the importance of morphological and functional assessment to optimize patient treatment strategy in complex PCI.

Clinical case scenarios will cover:

Why it is important to use functional assessment in patients with intermediate, tandem, diffuse and multivessel Coronary Artery Disease and the evidence that supports this strategy.
An introduction to iFR and resting indices, and the hybrid approach combining iFR and FFR.
Scenarios where iFR adds value to FFR alone in multiple lesions and myocardial bridges.
A forward look towards the importance of ongoing clinical trials - Syntax II, Define FLAIR and iFR -Swedeheart
The role of IVUS in complex lesion type beyond Left Main
