Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

evaluate and critique controversial techniques and decision-making during cardiovascular interventions;
challenge conventional thinking and approaches used during cardiovascular interventions; and
identify controversies in the utilization of adjunctive therapies and modalities during cardiovascular interventions.

The management of patients with challenging presentations to the cath lab are often subject to debate and discussion in clinical practice. Each year, CAIC members submit interesting cases involving percutaneous interventions (either coronary or structural) which are educational in terms of challenging anatomy, difficult diagnosis or controversial decision-making.This session will gather national academic thought and clinical care leaders to discuss three clinically interesting cases.
