Summary

Over the last five years, we have learned that there is a new tool for treating calcium, the greatest enemy of interventional cardiology, which can take various forms: intravascular lithotripsy. In this session, look at how to master this technique in different scenarios, from eccentric calcified lesions to left main bifurcations.

Learning Objectives

  • To understand the mechanism of action of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for the treatment of calcified lesions
  • To uncover practical tips and techniques for IVL in challenging calcified lesions: eccentric calcified lesions
  • To learn how to safely utilise IVL in left main bifurcations
