Workshop Description: In this case-based and simulator-focused session on the basics of OCT interpretation, trainees will engage with real-world scenarios to enhance their understanding of OCT images.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

identify and differentiate the various components of the culprit lesion, including plaque type, fibrous cap thickness, and vessel morphology, contributing to a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition;
use OCT findings to plan percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and implement strategies for post-PCI optimization, ensuring improved procedural outcomes and long-term patient management; and
