Summary

This session delves into the treatment of calcified lesions, providing a comprehensive overview of contemporary tools and techniques for optimal plaque modification. Attendees will learn through a series of case presentations, where experts dissect challenging cases involving severe coronary calcification, including in the left main trunk. The session aims to equip interventional cardiologists with the knowledge and strategies to assess and achieve optimal results when performing PCI on calcified lesions.
