Anchorperson:
A. Seth
Spokesperson:
M. Haude
Summary
This live educational session focuses on the management of calcified left main bifurcation lesions, emphasizing the critical role of intravascular imaging for procedural planning and optimization. It highlights the use of mechanical lithoplasty for calcium modification prior to stent implantation and outlines strategic considerations for successful stenting in this high-risk anatomical setting.
Learning Objectives
- To understand the role of intravascular imaging in the planning and optimisation of PCI in calcified left main bifurcation lesions
- To define the role of mechanical lithoplasty for calcium modification prior to stent implantation
- To learn the stent implantation strategy in calcified left main bifurcation lesions
