Addressing complications in calcified lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

This session delves into the complexities and management strategies for complications arising in calcified coronary lesions. Topics include advanced techniques such as puncturing the seal, handling lethal complications on calcified vessels, managing rare rotational atherectomy wire fractures, addressing massive stent deformation due to jailed rotawires, innovative approaches to entrapped rotablation burrs, and novel balloon-based therapies.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Puncture the seal
  • Nightmare on rocky street: managing a lethal complication
  • When the wire breaks: a rare complication of rotational atherectomy
  • Massive stent deformation during PCI due to jailed rotawire
  • Rethinking an entrapped rotablation burr
  • A novel balloon-based technique to treat calcified lesions
