Course Introduction:

Over the past decade, cardiac CT has advanced to an effective tool for the assessment of coronary artery disease. In addition to just detecting stenotic lesions, cardiac CT is able to evaluate (1) coronary plaques characteristics, (2) severity and extent of calcified coronary artery segments and (3) to visualize chronically occluded coronary arteries. Therefore, cardiac CT still holds enormous potential to support PCI. The detailed information of cardiac CT not only helps to further improve PCI success rates, but also helps to stratify procedural risk and consequently reduce complication rates. However, for this purpose, the analysis of cardiac CT by the PCI operator him/herself is essential. The present hands-on course aims to introduce the PCI operator-friendly “Sliding Slab MIP” method and to demonstrate how to take full advantage of cardiac CT imaging in your daily PCI cases. Please join us in order to experience the usefulness of cardiac CT.
Since there is a limited capacity of 12 attendees per session, it is highly recommended that you register as early as possible.

Supplementary Guidance:

Hands-on instructions for all workstations (VINCENT (FUJIFILM), Advantage Workstation (GE Healthcare), Ziostation2 (Ziosoft, SHIMADZU)) are available during break time. “Sliding Slab MIP” and other workstation specific applications are demonstrated individually. We also kindly invite you to bring your own case data in DICOM format* for analysis. One of our instructors is ready to support you anytime.
(* Thin (0.5 mm) slice axial data-sets. Please contact your workstation vendor personnel for further details.)

All lectures will be held in Japanese. An English-speaking assistant is ready to translate and help you in every session. To sign up, please use the Japanese website.
On-site registration is only possible if a vacant workstation is available. The venue is always open for non-hands-on audits.

CCT2019 PCI Live Cases Course
This is a special seminar focusing on the CCT2019 PCI Live cases. Cardiac CT data-sets of the PCI Live cases will be analyzed prior to the PCI session (C) or reviewed (I). Based on the information of cardiac CT, potential procedural difficulties and tailored PCI strategies will be discussed prospectively or retrospectively.

Fundamental Course
The basic operation, diagnostic methods, tips, tricks and traps of “Sliding Slab MIP” imaging will be explained.

Advanced Course
This is a seminar for attendees who have already mastered the basic operation of “Sliding Slab MIP” imaging. Representative cases (CTO cases, incl. CCT2019 PCI Live cases) where cardiac CT provides crucial information will be demonstrated. The key points of CT analysis and interpretation will be explained and the impact on PCI planning and strategy selection will be discussed interactively, referring to the corresponding angiogram and IVUS information. Experienced CTO-PCI operators are welcomed.
