Summary

Focusing on coronary calcification, this session teaches the application of CT and intracoronary imaging to characterize calcium patterns, select appropriate modification tools, and assess procedural success. It emphasizes imaging-guided strategies to optimize treatment of calcified coronary lesions.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn how to use CT and intracoronary imaging to identify different coronary calcium patterns
  • To understand how to use imaging to select calcium modification tools
  • To learn how to assess for adequate calcium modification and PCI results using intracoronary imaging
