Devices and strategies in calcified lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Summary

Explore advanced devices and techniques for treating calcified coronary lesions in this session. Discussions include the use of Eximer laser coronary atherectomy, novel cutting balloons, outcomes of rotational atherectomy in tortuous vessels, atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon therapy, and calcium fracture patterns following Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • PCI using Eximer laser coronary atherectomy for complex coronary lesions
  • Comparison of novel high-pressure, nylon-blade and metal-blade cutting balloons in clinical practice
  • Outcome of rotational atherectomy for calcified lesions in moderately or severely tortuous coronaries
  • Clinical outcomes of atherectomy PCI with DCB therapy: a single-center retrospective study
  • Calcium fractures after Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy therapy in human cadaveric lesions: a dose-dependency study
