Summary

Join this in-depth session on the complications encountered during PCI of calcified coronary lesions, featuring real-world challenges like no flow with coronary dissection, stuck wires, and non-dilatable lesions. From the "Kokeshi phenomenon" to IVL-induced RCA dissection, this session highlights key lessons and red flags, emphasizing the importance of persistence and advanced techniques when tackling these high-risk cases.
