Imaging the calcified lesions: what you need to see

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: A. Fujino, G. Karamasis

Summary

This session emphasizes critical imaging aspects necessary for assessing calcified coronary lesions. It addresses lesion-specific Agatston scoring, OCT-guided PCI optimization, coronary CT planning, histopathological insights, and predictors of stent underexpansion after calcium modification.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Lesion specific Agatston score for the prediction of heavy calcification
  • OCTRA2 trial: OCT optimising PCI of RotAblation-resistant calcified lesion with repeat RA vs. ballon
  • ICPS-guided coronary CT for planning complex PCI: technical optimisation and complexity prediction
  • OCT predictors of acute stent underexpansion after calcium modification in the BALI trial
