Entering the World of CT-Guided PCI: SCAI/ SCCT PCI Guided Roundtable Key Messages, Dr. Yader B. Sandoval

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session introduced the concept of CT-guided PCI, emphasizing its evolution from a diagnostic tool to a pre-procedural planning asset. Yadir Sandoval chaired the discussion, highlighting the collaboration between interventional cardiologists and cardiac imagers. Recent advancements in CT technologies and published trials show promise in improving procedural planning and reducing complications. Key elements like morphology, length, and diameter (MLD), calcium assessment, and CT-based physiology contribute to better PCI outcomes. The session stressed overcoming barriers like access to infrastructure and education while pointing out ongoing pivotal trials and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in enhancing PCI strategies.
