Summary
This session focuses on the pivotal role of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in managing complex calcified coronary artery lesions. It covers the indications for calcium modification techniques such as orbital atherectomy, guided by OCT imaging, and demonstrates the optimization of drug-eluting stent (DES) expansion in challenging calcified lesions through detailed case presentations and live procedural insights.
Learning Objectives
- To learn about the role of OCT imaging in the management of complex calcified coronary artery lesions.
- To learn indications of calcium modification using orbital atherectomy or other modalities, based on findings on OCT images.
- To learn the optimization of DES expansion by OCT in a complex calcified lesion.
