Summary

Dive into the complex world of treating calcified lesions, where imaging guidance and specialized techniques are crucial. Discover strategies for tackling challenging cases, from calcified left main bifurcations to multivessel disease with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Learn how to leverage imaging insights, calcified modification techniques, and the role of mechanical circulatory support to achieve optimal outcomes in these intricate interventions.
