Summary

This session presents the first results of randomized trials investigating the use of advanced plaque modification techniques, such as rotational atherectomy, lithotripsy, and laser atherectomy, as well as the role of intracoronary imaging (OCT and IVUS) in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The session aims to provide attendees with the latest evidence on the safety and effectiveness of these innovative approaches in the treatment of calcified and complex coronary lesions.
