Elevate your complex PCI skill set

WHY ATTEND

WHY ATTEND

“You should attend CanCTO+Complex PCI to network with cutting-edge operators from around Canada and the US and learn how to use all the latest technologies to tackle the toughest challenges that we face in interventional cardiology. The format of this meeting is unique; we believe that the best way to learn how and why to use imaging and complex PCI techniques is in the context of cases, not separately. You will see how technology is used in live cases, hear concise approaches to complex problems, and try new techniques side-by-side with renowned faculty in hands-on models and simulators.”

Dr. Ram Vijayaraghavan
MD, FRCPC

LEARNING AND NETWORKING

“What I am most looking forward to is for North American PCI operators to come together to share knowledge and learn from each other. I am very excited about the 8 live cases and workshops demonstrating new technology and skill sets to improve the case we provide our patients.”

Dr. Akshay Bagai
MD, MHS, FRCPC

“The organizing committee has strived to create content for all Canadian operators of various skill levels. The hands-on workshops allow attendees to learn how to use devices and techniques that would be difficult to learn otherwise.”

Dr. Basem Elbarouni
MBBCh, FRCPC, DRCPSC

EDUCATION

Bifurcations- Work with our simulator to tackle and troubleshoot dedicated two-stent bifurcation techniques step by step in real time. Learn how to optimize your bifurcation result with OCT.

IVUS in CTO- Finally make sense of what you’re seeing on IVUS in CTO PCI and apply it to your advantage for increased procedural success and optimized patient outcomes.

Microcatheters- Learn how to trap out single and dual-lumen microcatheters and how to use them to wire complex lesion subsets,

Wires- Gain hands- on increased understanding of the multitude of wires at your disposal and how to make the best selections to resolve various lesion subsets in complex PCI.

Externalization- Learn what to watch for and how to mitigate risk as you are taught how to externalize and later remove your retrograde gear safely and efficiently.

Calcium Modification-Learn how to use imaging to guide and optimize your atherectomy

Protect those kidneys– Master ultra- low contrast PCI cases.

Complication Management Protocols: Learn advanced protocols for managing small and large vessel coronary perforation and for removing trapped gear in real-world scenarios.

Get a handle on Investment and Bailout dissection techniques-How and when to perform STAR or SPM.

Case-based Discussions with Complex Scenarios: Participate in detailed case-based discussions that address complex scenarios you face daily, with insights from leading experts on overcoming specific procedural hurdles.

Eight Live Cases: Learn approaches, tips and tricks directly from your peers as they strategize throughout complex PCI and CTO cases in real time.
