SCAI Bifurcation Club Webinar Series: Procedural Approaches and Techniques for Complex Lesions-Panel Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speakers discuss the use of advanced mechanical support devices in treating acute coronary syndrome with left main disease. They emphasize the importance of skills in using these devices, performing atherectomy, and understanding bifurcation techniques. They also highlight the role of imaging in guiding left main percutaneous coronary intervention. The speakers mention alternative access options such as axillary access, but note the need for surgical cut-down if the devices are to be left in for a long time. The video concludes with a discussion on the timing of non-culprit vessel revascularization in patients with shock.
