BCIS Intracoronary Imaging Course

BCIS Intracoronary Imaging Course

Wednesday 30th September | Education Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester

Overview

Building on the success of the Practical IVUS and OCT Course over the past 18 years, this well-established educational programme has now been adopted by BCIS and will continue under its new name: the BCIS Intracoronary Imaging Course.

The course is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge, practical understanding and image interpretation skills required to confidently integrate IVUS and OCT into modern cath lab practice.

TOPICS

Developed for interventional cardiology consultants, specialty registrars, fellows and allied cath lab professionals, the programme will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including:

  • IVUS and OCT case and pathology review with image atlas
  • An emphasis on small group, hands-on training with consoles and recorded cases
  • IVUS and OCT technology, lesion assessment and image interpretation
  • Step-by-step approach to intra-coronary imaging in planning and optimising stent deployment
  • Intra-coronary imaging in stent failure

We recommend this course as useful revision to anyone planning on taking the second BCIS ICI exam, planned for later this year.
