Calcified lesions: when one dedicated device is not enough

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: P. Chandra, M. Godin

Summary

This session highlights the need for multiple dedicated devices in the treatment of calcified coronary lesions. It discusses combined orbital and rotational atherectomy techniques, debulking in complex high-risk patients, and the integration of atherectomy with intravascular lithotripsy systems. Emphasis is placed on physiology and imaging-guided approaches to optimize calcium modification in complex PCI.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Combined orbital and rotational atherectomy in an anomalous right coronary artery
  • A complex rotashock debulking in a CHIP patient
  • Atherectomy to treat difficult coronary calcification
  • Calcium modification in complex PCI using the atherectomy and hertz contact IVL system
  • Physiology/imaging-guided calcium modification using combined Rota-Shock
