Overview

Dr. van Mieghem will present and moderate this webinar on post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) physiology assessment.

The webinar is intended to educate the viewers on the concept of assessing the (intra-) coronary physiology after a lesion has been treated with an eligible stent device. Dr. van Mieghem will review the existing clinical evidence of this treatment strategy and also present the findings from the FFR SEARCH registry which was done in the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) Rotterdam (the data was first presented at PCR 2017).

This webinar aims to critically discuss if Post-PCI fractional flow reserve (FFR) could potentially improve outcomes.

A clinical case will be presented which will highlight the procedural aspects of the physiologic assessment pre-PCI, intra-PCI and post-PCI assessment and intravascular imaging (IVUS).

Primary Objectives:

Present the findings from the FFR SEARCH registry and introduce the follow-up trial: FFR REACT

  • Findings FFR SEARCH
  • Discuss imaging results to answer the question, 'what causes results?'
  • Identify and discuss the benefits of using a microcatheter

Faculty Biographies


Nicolas M Van Mieghem

Nicolas M Van Mieghem

Dr Nicolas M Van Mieghem obtained his medical degree and cardiology degree at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. After subsequent fellowships in interventional cardiology in Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg Genk, Belgium, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York, US and Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, he joined the department of interventional cardiology at the Thoraxcenter, Erasmus Medical Center, as a senior staff member in February 2010. 

He is involved in the percutaneous coronary interventions and structural heart program. He obtained the degree of PhD based upon his research in transcatheter valve therapies. So far he has published and co-authored approximately 130 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals. 

Dr Van Mieghem is principle investigator and steering committee member in multiple ongoing international trials evaluating various coronary and transcatheter valve technologies. He is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology and is currently Medical Director of the department of Interventional cardiology at the Thoraxcenter.
