Treatment for calcified coronary artery disease in the real world

Moderators: Z. Huczek, C. Maksutov
Speakers: M. Basile, A. Elsherif, D. K. Baruah, P. Kumar, S. Gunasekaran, M. Sagris

Summary

This session presents real-world experiences and evidence on treating calcified coronary artery disease. It includes meta-analyses comparing rotational atherectomy and balloon angioplasty, long-term outcomes of excimer laser atherectomy, and multicenter registry data on intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), particularly in diabetic and high-risk patients. The session also focuses on safety, efficacy, and techniques for modifying calcified nodules to optimize interventional outcomes.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Rotational atherectomy or balloon-based angioplasty: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
  • Outcomes of Excimer laser atherectomy in percutaneous coronary intervention: a 10-year experience
  • Real-world outcomes of coronary intravascular lithotripsy in diabetic patients: insights from the largest registry
  • Safety and efficacy of an intravascular lithotripsy system in complex, high risk calcified coronary interventions: experience
  • Real-world intravascular lithotripsy outcomes in long severe calcified coronary lesions: multicenter registry
