Summary
This session delves into the complexities of treating calcified coronary artery lesions, highlighting strategic selection of PCI approaches, anticipation of potential complications, and agile adaptation of techniques to manage these challenges effectively. Featuring real-world cases from Ireland and the United Kingdom, it provides critical learnings on managing STEMI scenarios and rotablation in anomalous coronary anatomies.
Learning Objectives
- To select the appropriate strategy for PCI of calcified lesions
- To anticipate complications in treatment of calcified lesions
- To rapidly adapt techniques to manage complications effectively
