Liv Hospital Hosts Scientific Meeting on Coronary Bifurcation Interventions and Next-Generation Stents
Liv Hospital recently organized a high-level scientific meeting titled “Coronary Bifurcation Interventions and Specific New Generation Stents, where leading experts in interventional cardiology gathered to discuss advanced techniques, technologies, and real-world applications.
Opening the meeting, Meri İstiroti emphasized the critical role of timely and accurate decision-making in today’s rapidly evolving clinical landscape:
“Life is a destiny that sometimes requires fast and correct decisions, just like the heart’s junctional veins. Sometimes one path leads to life, the other to risk. Correct decisions require a master. Clinical success is not only born from technology; it also comes from experience, teamwork, and knowledge sharing. Each technique explained here today may become a patient’s chance to hold on to life. A small detail can make a big difference.
As scientific director of the event, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Vefik Yazıcıoğlu highlighted the extreme sensitivity required in bifurcation interventions:
“Bifurcations are among the most complex cases in interventional cardiology. Even a minor side branch issue can cause major complications. Millimetric decisions in these cases can mean the difference between long-term health and serious risk. That’s why we wanted to evaluate every technical detail with our experienced operators. I also have much to learn.
The symposium featured in-depth discussions on:
IVUS-guided applications
Medina classification
Advanced bifurcation techniques such as POT, Culotte, TAP, DK-crush
Live case applications integrating new-generation stent technologies with complex procedural strategies
By combining theory with case-based practice, the meeting offered participants a chance to explore how millimetric precision and evolving stent technologies are transforming patient outcomes in interventional cardiology.
