Description:
The breadth and scope of non-invasive imaging has advanced in recent years and is becoming the cornerstone of anatomic assessment of the coronary arteries. In the cath lab, PCI guided interventions, with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), are on the rise. Hosted by the CathPCI Registry Steering Committee Chair, Dr. David Kandzari, this session will expand and deepen your understanding of the imaging used for today’s CAD patient and the impact on clinical practice patterns! 

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss the types of imaging modalities used for coronary artery assessment. 
• Identify two ways advanced imaging is changing cardiology treatment strategies.​ 
• Recognize how the CathPCI Registry is collecting intra-PCI imaging.​
