ACC/SCAI Monthly Cath Case Discussion: Heart Team Approach to Complex PCI

The ACC Interventional, Peripheral Vascular Disease, Early Career, and Fellows-in-Training Sections have partnered with SCAI to host a monthly Cath Discussion focusing on hot topics. The Cath Discussions will typically take place during one Saturday per month 11am EST and will feature case presentations on a specific topic with a panel discussion.

Take away points:

  • Discussing the optimal treatment strategy for patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD) requires assessment of each patient's presenting illness, clinical stability, coronary anatomy, comorbidities, and goals of care
  • Case discussions around a structured Heart Team form that assesses formal risk stratification facilitates personalized decisionā€making for complex coronary artery disease patients
  • The multidisciplinary Heart Team approach has been espoused and deployed for multiple conditions relevant to cardiovascular medicine: valvular heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary embolism, and cardiogenic shock
