SCAI 2026 Angio-Derived Physiology: Data, Technology, and Clinical Integration-Discussion - All-Rise: Answers We Have and Questions that Remain

Discussion - All-Rise: Answers We Have and Questions that Remain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses how angio-derived physiology can make PCI faster and more efficient than wire-based methods, while also improving post-PCI assessment. Post-PCI physiology helps detect residual pressure loss in stented or adjacent vessel segments, which can predict symptoms and worse outcomes. Using image-based analysis, clinicians can quickly check whether further optimization is needed, such as post-dilation or adding a stent. The goal is to identify and fix ischemia before the patient leaves the cath lab. A recent Sky-sponsored roundtable also produced a J-Sky document on integrating angio-derived physiology into practice.
