Counterpulsation therapy - Should we continue to use it?
Chairperson: Simon REDWOOD
Objectives:
To understand the science of mechanical support in the complex coronary patientTo identify which patients are responders to intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation therapy
To discuss real-world experience and outcomes in treating complex PCI procedures
