Summary

This session provides expert guidance on managing calcified bifurcation lesions. It highlights identification of high-risk scenarios, the role of coronary CT angiography and intravascular imaging in tool selection, and specialized techniques for treating calcified nodules in the left main coronary artery.

Learning Objectives

  • To identify the high-risk situations for complications and prevent them by adequate strategy
  • To understand the role of pre-interventional coronary computed tomography angiography and intravascular imaging for tool selection
  • To learn techniques for calcified nodules in left main
