CHIP (Complex Higher-Risk and Indicated Patients) interventions are evolving rapidly as essential strategies for high-risk patients who require intricate, tailored approaches. This chapter, 'CHIP SUBSETS: PRACTICAL INSIGHTS AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES,' delves into the nuances and advanced methods crucial to managing these patients, offering interventionalists a comprehensive guide to the latest practices, including atherectomy, physiology-guided interventions, intravascular imaging, and advanced PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) techniques. With a detailed focus on the specific subsets of CHIP, this chapter provides practical insights into the indications, benefits, and challenges of various procedural approaches. It explores case-based management strategies for conditions such as chronic total occlusions (CTO), left main disease, bifurcations, and severe calcifications, where standard procedures are inadequate. Additionally, this resource emphasizes the critical role of physiology and intravascular imaging, highlighting the importance of precise diagnostic information in determining the most effective treatment pathways. Designed for both established and emerging practitioners in interventional cardiology, this chapter combines evidence-based recommendations with real-world application, making it an invaluable addition to any cardiology reference library. Whether navigating the complexities of patient-specific treatment plans or exploring the cutting edge of interventional technology, readers will find in-depth expertise and essential tools for optimizing patient outcomes in the CHIP landscape.
