Angioplasty Summit-TCT Asia Pacific 2005 > Meeting Focus

What's different?
Outstanding Research Awards
Learn about the various approaches for the specific lesion subset
: simultaneous live case demonstrations of different techniques by different operators in the same type of lesions.
Continuous concurrent live case demonstrations under the specific themes
: transradial interventions(TRI), CTO interventions, etc.
Case review oriented practical workshop

TCTAP session
The distinguished TCTAP session, including clinical trial updates 2005, state-of-the-art lectures, live case demonstrations from Columbia University, New York, USA. The Session will be moderated by Drs. Martin B. Leon and Gregg W. Stone.

Plenary Session
Up-to-date didactic lecture series, featuring world-renowned experts in their fields.

- Acute Coronary Syndromes and thrombotic lesions (role of adjunct pharmacology, thrombectomy and distal protection)
- Multivessel disease strategies
- Approach to the patient with renal insufficiency and diabetes
- Advanced drug-eluting stent techniques
- Complex patient subgroups treatments
- Utility of intravascular ultrasound and physiologic lesion assessment

Live Case Demonstrations
More than 20 live case demonstrations, featuring different techniques by different operators in the same type of lesions simultaneously. These Demonstrations will be originated from 4 international and 3 Korean centers.

- Complex coronary intervention
- Novel strategies for high risk patients and complex lesions
: Lt. main disease, LAD ostial lesions, Very long lesions, Bifurcations, CTOs, Diffuse ISR

Euro PCR
The individual Euro PCR session will be presented during the meeting. This session moderated by Drs. Jean Marco and Patrick Serruys will be discussed basic education, PCI, and future prospect for interventional vascular therapeutics.
