When calcium fights back: multinational insights into complex PCI and complication rescue

With the collaboration of Bulgarian Society of Interventional Cardiology and Romanian Working Group for Interventional Cardiology and Tunisian Group of Interventional Cardiology

SHOW MORE

Summary

This multinational session highlights advanced approaches to complex PCI involving heavily calcified coronary arteries. It aims to enhance mastery of contemporary calcium modification tools, reinforce decision-making skills in high-risk, complication-prone interventions, and optimize imaging-guided assessment of coronary calcium through illustrative cases from Bulgaria, Romania, and Tunisia.

Learning Objectives

  • To master contemporary tools for calcium modification 
  • To strengthen decision‑making in high-risk, complication-prone PCI 
  • To optimise imaging-guided assessment of coronary calcium
