Dr Lim Wei Juan

This past Saturday, the Abbott Optical Coherence Tomography OCT Workshop took place, offering a unique and enriching learning experience for cardiovascular professionals.

Chaired by Dato’ Sri Dr. Azhari Rosman and presented by Dr. David Yong and Dr. Lim Wei Juan, the OCT workshop provided an in-depth look into the application of OCT in coronary artery disease and interventional cardiology.

A Hands-On Learning Experience

The workshop combined expert presentations with practical, hands-on sessions, enabling participants to directly interact with Abbott’s cutting-edge coronary OCT technology. Through detailed demonstrations, attendees gained valuable insights into OCT’s capabilities for assessing coronary artery lesions, stent deployment, and the overall vascular condition.

We have participants from HSAJB Dr Sim & Dr Lau as well as from HUKM Dr Beh BC!

Not only teaching about basic OCT morphology & MLA MAX algorithm, we also have hands on session!

Key Highlights of the Workshop:

• Case Sharing by Experts: Dr. David Yong and Dr. Lim Wei Juan shared compelling real-life case studies, demonstrating how OCT is transforming coronary diagnostics and interventional procedures. Attendees learned how to effectively utilize OCT for detailed imaging of coronary arteries, providing a higher level of precision in clinical decision-making.
• Hands-On Practice: Participants had the opportunity to work with the latest OCT equipment, refining their skills in performing and interpreting high-resolution coronary imaging. This hands-on experience was invaluable in building confidence with OCT’s application in daily practice.
• Expert Insights: Dato’ Sri Dr. Azhari Rosman, as chair, guided the discussions and provided expert commentary on the role of OCT in modern cardiology. His insights helped participants better understand how this technology is shaping the future of coronary diagnostics and interventions.

It’s also important for EAPCI exam!

Abbott have their own OCT laptop, the same interface as the OCT machine!

What Attendees Gained:

研讨会结束时，与会者对冠状动脉OCT的知识得到增强，对其临床应用的理解更加深入，并掌握了可以立即应用于实践的实用技能。病例分享和真实案例有助于巩固OCT在改善冠状动脉疾病患者预后方面的重要性。

研讨会取得了圆满成功，与会者热切希望运用他们的新技能和知识来优化患者护理。我们期待未来能有更多此类教育活动。
