Class 2 (Live Case) – Introduction to Coronary IVLFeaturing an interactive live case from San Carlos Hospital in Madrid, the basics of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) are explained.
Our panel of expert operators introduce the technology and demonstrate how to optimise the use of IVL through a series of case-based examples and bespoke illustrations.

Optimal Online 2020
Optimal Online 2020 - Day One
Addressing the controversy of LM revascularisation PCI head-on by first providing the statistical weapons to interpret the data. We will explore which patients will benefit from percutaneous revascularisation before defining how to achieve technical excellence.
Optimal Online 2020 - Day Two
Treatment of coronary arterial calcium (CAC) has being redefined. We explore the interaction between CAC and patient complexity, examining emerging areas of development.
Optimal Online 2020 - Day Three
The integrated use of physiology and imaging is transforming the treatment of complex bifurcation disease. We explore development in techniques & explain how to integrate the latest technology
Optimal Online 2020 - Day Four
CTO PCI continues to attract and confuse. The Optima group has led the field in CTO PCI education for > 10 years publishing ~ 70 articles and hosting > 50 courses. We bring this unique expertise to addressing the key questions limiting further expansion of the field.

Course directors
Prof James C Spratt has global experience in training physicians in complex and CTO PCI. He is the Director of Optimal CTO and the author of the Retrograde iBook and co-author of the antegrade iBook.
Dr Simon Walsh has been working as a Consultant Cardiologist at the Belfast Trust for over 10 years. It is one of the largest NHS trusts in the UK. The centre performs ~2750 PCI per year, with 650-700 STEMI and calcium modification in ~10% of our PCI cases. Dr Walsh also works internationally as an educator, teaching advanced techniques for complex PCI and CTO PCI. This involves training visiting Cardiologists in Belfast retrograde CTO techniques, antegrade dissection and re-entry CTO techniques and other advanced PCI procedures. He has visited multiple centres in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, Asia and North America to act as a visiting proctor for complex PCI and CTO PCI cases. Dr Walsh’s research interests include PCI, coronary artery disease, defibrillation, acute coronary syndromes and chronic total occlusions. Research responsibilities have included acting as a recruiting investigator for the >25 multicentre studies over the last 17 years. He acted as a primary investigator for numerous international trials including the Evolve, Noble, Leaders Free and Ischemia multicentre studies. He has been the lead UK investigator for the October trial, Syntax 2, Recharge and Ischaemia-CTO. He is also the Chief Investigator for the Consistent CTO, Celtic Bifurcation and Discrete CTO trials.
