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!

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
