Challenging Scenarios in the Cath Lab
Agenda & Invited Faculty
This webinar will cover a series challenging cath lab scenarios. The faculty will review the evidence base that guides our decision-making and demonstrate through cases the nuances of applying data to real-life patients, interpreting advanced invasive diagnostic testing, and optimizing interventional procedures.
Moderator: Sohah Iqbal, MD, FSCAI
Q&A Moderator: Roxana Mehran, MD, MSCAI
• INOCA: Should Microvascular Testing Be Routine?, Nathaniel Rosso Smilowitz, MD, FSCAI
• Nonatherosclerotic ACS, Jennifer A. Tremmel, MD, FSCAI
• Out-of-Hospital Arrest: To Cath or Not to Cath, Timothy D. Henry, MD, MSCAI
• Complete Revascularization in AMI: One-Stop Fix or Wait a Few Days!, Natalia Pinilla, MD, MSc
Learning Objectives After completing this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Define ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) and the optimal setting for microvascular testing.
- Review the role of intravascular imaging and adjunctive non-invasive imaging in non-atherothrombotic coronary events.
- Recognize prognostic indicators of a good-survival potential for patients who present with out-of-hospital arrest.
- Define the role of the cath lab, including ECPR, neuroprotective hypothermia, and PCI in patients with out-of-hospital arrest.
- Compare the pros and cons of completing revascularization in one procedure vs prior to discharge.
