This comprehensive program focuses on advanced imaging techniques and cutting-edge software to enhance the management of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Participants will gain a deep understanding of plaque morphology, identification using OCT pullbacks, and algorithmic methodologies central to OCT use. Instructor-led case studies provide real-world application insights, equipping participants with the skills for independent OCT system operation.
The program includes hands-on skills labs covering calcium modification, bifurcation OCT, and formal case presentations facilitated by Dr. Scott Harding. Participants will also delve into the next-generation Ultreon™ software, which integrates AI and automation to optimise imaging and coronary physiology analysis. Training modules are tailored to healthcare professionals and physicians, with dedicated sessions on AI-driven imaging, calcium fundamentals, and lab self-sufficiency.
Physicians will receive additional training in advanced calcium analysis, complex lesion management, and OCT-guided PCI, including proctorship opportunities and case presentation sessions. By the program's conclusion, participants will be proficient in both OCT imaging and Ultreon™ software, enabling them to confidently optimise treatment strategies.
This training program introduces the fundamental concepts of epicardial physiology, using a dedicated wetlab to provide hands-on, practical learning. Participants will advance to more complex topics, including indices like IMR (Index of Microcirculatory Resistance) and CFR (Coronary Flow Reserve), thermodilution techniques, and the acetylcholine challenge. Extended practicum sessions allow for deeper exploration of these techniques.
To ensure comprehensive understanding, the program incorporates the latest Mentice Lab Simulator, peer-led digital workshops, and case consolidation sessions. This cohesive approach equips participants with the skills and knowledge necessary for accurate epicardial and microvascular assessment.
The Abbott Coronary Training Programs are designed to provide healthcare professionals with a thorough understanding of the key tools and techniques for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The programs cover foundational and advanced knowledge of drug-eluting stents, guidewires, specialty wires, and coronary balloons, equipping participants with the expertise to optimise patient outcomes. Through interactive sessions and practical demonstrations, participants will learn the selection and application of these devices in various clinical scenarios, focussing on effective strategies to manage complex coronary cases.
The programs emphasise hands-on experience to build confidence and proficiency in the use of Abbott’s innovative coronary technologies.
