2024 Scientific Sessions

High Risk PCI & Cardiogenic Shock

This session will provide an intensive learning experience on the use of mechanical circulatory support for high risk PCI focusing on device design, mechanism of hemodynamic support and weaning. MCS use in very high risk PCI patients such as surgical turn downs and severe PAD will also be discussed in detail.
