Nipro Symposium at Singapore Live (SingLive) 2023
Nipro Asia participated in the 32nd Singapore Live – Asia’s pre-eminent annual live course in cardiac interventions that was held at the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore from the from the 12th – 14th of January. 900 local and regional delegates from over 34 countries participated this year.
This marks the first time that Nipro has participated in a SingLIVE event with an expanding vascular intervention portfolio that was featured during a live case, an event booth, and a symposium. On the first day of the event at 10:15a.m., alive case using the Makoto Intravascular Imaging System and Aperta NSE was live streamed by the NHCS.
The live case was performed by Clinical Associate Prof. Jack Tan and his team from the National Heart Centre. The NHCS operation team showcased the Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)-guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), its application as a coronary imaging tool as well as tips and tricks on its utilization. Makoto utilizes NIRS in combination with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a state-of-the-art technology developed for coronary lipid-plaque characterization.
Recent studies have evaluated its clinical utility as well as how to integrate its use into clinical practice. The information for the prediction of the major adverse cardiac event (MACE) was something new and more than 100 audience members gathered to see the live case, which brought the discussion among the panelists on how the information provided by Makoto could change the treatment plan.
The day followed with Nipro’s symposium titled “Seeing is believing: Lesion preparation and Lipid core detection”. The in-depth presentation was made by A. Prof. Kosuke Koyama who talked about clinical studies of IVUS-NIRS technology, and Dr. Satoru Tohara who presented findings about Aperta NSE as a preferred scoring balloon.
