Advanced Revascularization Chapter XVIII (ARCH) Symposium 2025 - St. Louis

Advanced Revascularization Chapter XVIII (ARCH) Symposium is organized by Gaffney Events and will be held from Apr 09 - 12, 2025 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, St Louis, Missouri, United States of America.

2025 ARCH Fellows Course: April 12th, 2025
2025 ARCH General Sessions: April 9th – April 11th, 2025

Description:
The ARCH Consortium brings together leaders in cardiology from around the globe to our world-class educational hubs in St. Louis, Missouri and Honolulu, Hawaii, designed to make a difference in the lives of cardiology specialists and their patients.

ARCH will continue to focus on evidence-based data, newer technological advances, case-based discussions, tips and tricks in complex cases, innovative therapeutic strategies that will enable physicians to treat their patients with high-risk and complex coronary, peripheral vascular and structural anatomy. Attendees will learn from faculty experts on the use of novel techniques and interventional tools, new CTO techniques, hemodynamic support during high-risk coronary, peripheral and structural interventions and decompensated heart failure, structural heart disease interventions and novel intravascular and non-invasive coronary anatomy / physiology techniques. In addition, use of newer adjunctive imaging modalities to optimize coronary, peripheral and structural interventions outcomes will be presented. Newer treatment options for hypertension, imaging and the latest pharmacotherapy advances will be discussed.

Highlights:

• Excellent live cases to gain an understanding of the optimal treatment of serious complications of coronary, peripheral and structural interventions.                                                                      
• Keynote Lectures from Experts in their Field                                                                     
• Describe the advances in interventional cardiology, heart failure and hypertension therapies.                                                                     
• Discuss controversies and interventional dilemmas / focus on procedural strategies for success.                                                                     
• Identify the expanding role of interventional cardiovascular procedures performed in office-based labs (OBL) and ambulatory surgical centers (ASC).                                                                     
• Review the use and impact of adjunctive imaging modalities, IVUS, OCT, MRA and CT angiography.                                                                     
• Learn tips and tricks for coronary, peripheral and structural interventions in technically difficult and high-risk subsets.                                                                     
• Define the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in complex, high risk cases.                                                                     
• State-of-the-art discussion / Q&A with National & International recognized experts.

Course Objectives:

• Understand basic approaches to percutaneous coronary interventions including access, interventional equipment, and lesion preparation tools.
• Understand coronary physiology techniques and their application to current percutaneous interventions
• Interpret basic intravascular ultrasound images including stent sizing, stent malapposition and under expansion and calcium distribution.
• Understand basic heart anatomy and its relation to current interventional cardiology procedures.
