Tackling calcified lesions with IVUS guidance and optimisation
With the collaboration of the Euro4C Group
Anchorperson:
P. O'Kane
Spokesperson:
K. Al-Azizi
Summary
This session delves into the critical role of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) in characterizing and managing calcified coronary lesions. Attendees can explore an imaging-guided approach to calcium treatment, including case presentations that demonstrate stent selection and procedural optimization. Emphasis is placed on applying imaging-based optimization metrics to improve PCI outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- To consider the role of IVUS in characterising calcified coronary lesions
- To develop an imaging-guided approach to the management of calcium
- To understand how to apply imaging-based optimisation metrics to enhance your PCI outcomes
