PLANNING PCI BASED ON PRE-EXISTING MATERIAL

Dr Abdul Mozid is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Leeds General Infirmary, UK. His clinical focus is on percutaneous treatment of complex coronary disease and in particular chronic total occlusions (CTOs). He is one of the highest volume operators in the UK performing over 400 cases per annum over past 10 years with high usage of intravascular imaging and coronary physiology to optimise results. Dr Mozid has a keen interest in teaching complex PCI skillsets and regularly hosts small group seminars for consultant colleagues in his region.

Dr Adrián Jerónimo is an Interventional Cardiology fellow at Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid (Spain). He studied Medicine at Universidad Complutense de Madrid and completed his General Cardiology training at Hospital Clínico San Carlos. He has collaborated in several research projects, including the AID ANGIO study, in which he plays a principal role. His main areas of interest are complex PCI, coronary physiology and intravascular imaging, being part of the CTO programme at Hospital Clínico San Carlos. In addition, he will be finishing his PhD in infective endocarditis and TAVI by the end of 2024.

Dr Asad Shabbir is an Interventional Cardiology Registrar at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford and is also an Honorary Clinical Research Fellow at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London, where he is completing his PhD. He completed his interventional cardiology fellowship at Hospital Clinico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain. Asad has an interest in complex coronary interventions, CTO PCI, and translational basic science.

Dr Breda Hennessey graduated from the Third Faculty of Medicine in Charles University in Prague. Following this, she returned to Ireland to complete her general medical and higher specialist cardiology training. In 2019, she was awarded the Brian McGovern Scholarship by the Irish Cardiac Society, and this allowed her to commence her subspecialty training in Interventional Cardiology at Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid. She completed a two-year coronary interventional fellowship, with a focus on intracoronary imaging, invasive physiology and ultra-low dose contrast intervention. Following completion of her coronary training, she undertook a further fellowship in structural intervention, also at Hospital Clínico San Carlos. In addition to her clinical work, she has been involved in various research projects pertaining to ultra-low dose contrast PCI, investigating the impact of new technologies in reducing contrast burden in complex PCI . She has authored and co-authored a number of research articles, book chapters and has contributed to the European association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions textbook. During her time at Hospital Clinico San Carlos, she completed a Masters in Interventional Cardiology and is currently undertaking a PHD at the Complutense University of Madrid with a focus in ultra-low dose contrast PCI. Throughout her fellowship, she regularly took part in the preparation and delivery of educational courses, both at Hospital Clinico San Carlos and in collaboration with other tertiary referral centres and international cardiology societies in Spain, the UK and the UAE.

Dr Giuseppe Colletti is a specialist in interventional cardiology at the Clinique Saint-Joseph in Arlon, Belgium where his focus is on developing and handling the complex PCI program. He did a fellowship in interventional cardiology at Hôpital Jolimont in La Louvrière, focusing on complex coronary lesions treatment with particular regards to calcified lesions, as well as at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Liège – Sart Tilman. He graduated from medical from the University of Palermo on 2010 and he specialized in cardiology at the University of Sassari in 2016. Dr Colletti has been a published author in peer-reviewed journals and is planning on publishing more in the future as he has been increasingly involved in clinical research.

Prof Maciej Lesiak is Head of the 1st Department of Cardiology in Poznan Medical University and a cardiology consultant in Greater Poland province. He obtained medical diploma at the Medical Academy in Poznan (currently the Medical University) and at this university he gained further academic degrees and promotions. He received his doctorate in 1995 defending the work entitled Structure of the sinus node in healthy persons and patients with supraventricular rhythm disorders. His specialization is internal diseases and cardiology.In 2001, he was a member of the team of Poznan cardiologists who prepared the first program for the invasive treatment of acute myocardial infarction in Greater Poland province. In 2007, he became Associate Professor based on the assessment of scientific achievements and dissertation titled “Primary coronary angioplasty in the treatment of acute phase of myocardial infarction. Early and long-term observation of 988 consecutive patients treated as part of the Greater Poland Province Program”. Prof Lesiak became a Professor of medical sciences in 2016. Prof Lesiak has been a member of the Board of the Working Group for Invasive Cardiology of The Polish Cardiac Society since 2001, and its president in years 2009 - 2011; Member of European Society of Cardiology since 2002, and a EuroPCR Program Committee Member since 2009. He is also an associate editor of the Polish Heart Journal. Prof Lesiak has published over 140 original publications in magazines such as European Heart Journal, JACC, JACC Cardiovascular Interventions, American Heart Journal, etc.

Dr Marco Lombardi is an interventional cardiology fellow at the Hospital Clinico San Carlos/Complutense University (Madrid, Spain) from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Rome, Italy). He obtained his medical degree at the Campus Bio-Medico University in 2018 (Rome, Italy), and he trained as a research fellow at the VCU Pauley Heart Center (Richmond, USA) before starting his PhD degree that he is completing at the University of Genoa (Genoa, Italy).

Dr Vasileios Panoulas is a Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, part of the Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London. He has clinical expertise that encompasses both general and interventional cardiology. He is a high volume PCI and TAVI (trans catheter aortic valve implantation) operator with interest in complex high risk PCI and use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with cardiogenic shock. Dr Panoulas' research interests involve clinical outcomes with new generation TAVI devices, use of MCS in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock, management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and hypertension. Other interests include speckle tracking and hand-held echocardiography and cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
