Video Summary
Jonathan Leipzig moderates a discussion from Vancouver, British Columbia, focusing on using CT scans for planning PCI procedures in cath labs. The conversation, joined by experts like Dr. Jadar Sandoval from the Minneapolis Heart Institute and others, explores how CT can be integrated into cath lab procedures to optimize revascularization strategies. Key points include leveraging CT for pre-procedural planning by examining plaque morphology and disease complexity, potentially enhancing outcomes. The discussion addresses both excitement around this innovation and challenges, such as the need for more training among interventional cardiologists to fully integrate CT insights into their workflow. Highlighted are educational initiatives by Sky targeting this integration, emphasizing the fundamental shift from CT merely diagnosing coronary artery disease to actively planning interventions. The session underscores the promise of better procedural success and outcomes through collaborative efforts and increased familiarity with CT technology in cardiology.
