On 8th Nov.2022, Dr.Sanjog Kalra from Toronto General Hospital Canada & Dr.Sameer Dani- Chief Interventional Cardiologist Apollo CVHF Heart Institute Ahmedabad along with Team performed interventions using this technique.

• CVD – A leading cause of death in ESRD Patients
  PCI ( Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) is denied by Cardiologists in patients with ESRD( End Stage Renal Disease) or CKD ( Chronic Kidney Disease) due to complexity of the procedure and complications. ZERO Contrast PCI…. Is a blessing for ESRD patients because it is performed under IVUS guidance without using Contrast/dye.
• ZERO Contrast PCI under IVUS guidance can be performed by highly skilled Operator, where advanced Cath lab is available.

ZERO Contrast PCI is useful in….
1) CTO ( Chronic Total Occlusion)
IVUS guidance helps to create true lumen and with the help of image it is easier to open Chronically Total Occluded Artery.
2) Ostial lesions- lesions in the opening of the Coronary Arteries can be stented very effectively with the help of IVUS.

ISR (Instant Restenosis), STEMI ( Acute MI), LM Bifurcations and all different types of Coronary lesions can be handled very easily and long term benefits can be achieved using ZERO Contrast PCI under IVUS guidance.
