Imaging-driven decision making in PCI for calcified lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Moderators: B. Vaquerizo, O. Kwon

Summary

Focus on imaging-guided decision making in PCI for heavily calcified coronary lesions. This session includes case studies illustrating advanced techniques to navigate and treat challenging calcific anatomies, emphasizing the role of imaging modalities and atherectomy devices to optimize procedural success in complex settings such as left main bifurcations and balloon-uncrossable lesions.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • The foolish old man moves the mountain
  • Rock-hard calcium in an endarterectomised left anterior descending artery
  • Navigating the rocky road in a cancer survivor: OA and imaging in complex left main bifurcation
  • Handling luminally protrusive calcific nodules in balloon uncrossable lesion
