Sanjay Kaul, Ajay J. Kirtane, Harold L. Lazar, Friedrich W. Mohr, Rita Redberg, Daniel

I. Simon

Commonly Held View 1: ASCERT is Right! CABG Provides Optimal

Revascularization for Stable Multivessel CAD

2:00 pm - Contrarian Position: ASCERT is Hopelessly Confounded. PCI Outcomes Are

No Worse, and PCI is More Widely Acceptable and Applicable!



Commonly Held View 2: PCI for Left Main Disease is Skating on Thin Evidence!

2:22 pm - Contrarian Position: Left Main PCI Will Make CABG Obsolete!



Commonly Held View 3: Mitral Regurgitation Is a Surgical Disease

2:44 pm - Contrarian Position: Interventional Devices Will Soon Be Able to Manage the

Spectrum of Mitral Pathology!



Commonly Held View 4: TAVR Will Change the Treatment Landscape for Aortic

Stenosis

3:06 pm - Contrarian Position: More Strokes, Vascular Complications, Unknown

Durability: Not So Fast!

Lecturer: Lawrence H. Cohn


Commonly Held View 5: Carotid Artery Stenting Should Not Be the Standard of Care

for Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Disease

3:28 pm - Contrarian Position: Evidence-Based Nonsense!



Panel 2: Interventional Cardiology and Pharmacotherapy Controversies

Moderators: Sanjay Kaul, Daniel I. Simon

Discussants: Eric R. Bates, Donald Cutlip, James A. Goldstein, Ajay J. Kirtane, Guy

LeClerc, Chaim S. Lotan, Roxana Mehran, Tabassome Simon, Mohamed Sobhy

Commonly Held View 6: There Is Insufficient Evidence to Recommend Genetic and

Platelet Function Testing Post Coronary Stenting

3:50 pm - Contrarian Position: Get Your Heads Out of the Sand! Genomics and Platelet

Function Testing Will Revolutionize Tailored Antiplatelet Therapy!



Commonly Held View 7: Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Devices Can Never Match

Up to Oral Anticoagulants

4:12 pm - Contrarian Position: Oral Anticoagulants Introduce More Problems Than They

Solve!



Commonly Held View 8: FFR Should Replace Clinical Judgment and Noninvasive

Stress Testing Pre-PCI in Stable CAD

4:34 pm - Contrarian Position: People Who Make These Statetments Don?t Take Care of

Patients (Or Read the Literature Carefully)!



Commonly Held View 9: Rivaroxaban Plus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Will Optimize

Pharmacotherapy for ACS

4:56 pm - Contrarian Position: A Case of Enthusiasm Exceeding the Evidence!

Lecturer: Gilles Montalescot


Commonly Held View 10: Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Post-Stenting Should Be Given

for at Least One Year, if Not Longer

5:18 pm - Contrarian Position: Evidence is Leaning Towards Shorter Treatment Duration
