New evidence in the treatment of calcified lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 late-breaking trials submissions

Anchorperson: D. Chamie

Spokesperson: J. M. Sinning

Summary

This session presents the latest evidence on treating calcified coronary lesions, comparing intravascular lithotripsy, cutting balloons, rotational and orbital atherectomy. It includes clinical trial data on efficacy, safety, and impact on coronary microvascular function, providing a robust foundation for evidence-based decision-making in calcified lesion management.

Presentations available when logged in:

Intravascular lithotripsy vs. cutting balloon by calcium type: IVUS substudy of the ShortCUT trial
Prognostic significance of rotational atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy and orbital atherectomy
Randomised comparison of orbital vs. rotational atherectomy on coronary microvascular function
Safety and efficacy of novel intravascular lithotripsy system for coronary calcium: FRACTURE study
Intravascular lithotripsy or rotational atherectomy for calcified coronary PCI: the ICARE trial 12-month clinical outcomes
