Speakers: A. Evangeliou, J. Tahon, S. Ayed, A. Sinha, N. G. K. kasinadhuni

Summary

This session highlights the critical value of imaging in the treatment of calcified coronary lesions. It reviews techniques for lesion modification, including innovative balloon-based strategies and multimodality approaches for balloon-uncrossable calcified left main bifurcations. The session also discusses the tactical cracking of calcified plaques and strategies to overcome resistant coronary lesions, emphasizing the pivotal role of imaging guidance in enhancing procedural success.

Presentations available when logged in:

Imaging-guided strategy for a resistant coronary lesion
Navigating coronary calcium: a novel balloon-based lesion modification strategy
When nothing crosses: multimodality treatment of a balloon-uncrossable calcified left main bifurcation
