Which techniques to improve results of PCI in calcified lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions

Facilitators: F. Eberli, G. Sardella, S. Yang

Summary

This session comprises selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions focused on techniques to improve PCI outcomes in calcified lesions. It covers various case presentations and discussions, including the use of imaging to guide therapy for calcified noduli, planning strategies for tortuous and calcified lesions, managing balloon-undilatable and rota burr-uncrossable lesions, and the application of orbital atherectomy with retrograde ablation in ostial right coronary artery disease.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Calcified noduli: how imaging can guide therapy
