How to approach succesfully calcified bifurcation lesions?

PCR Perspectives

Summary

Calcified bifurcation lesions remain one of the toughest challenges in interventional cardiology, combining two high-risk features into one complex scenario.

In this EuroPCR 2025 interview, Dejan Milasinovic, Miroslaw Ferenc, and Mohamed Abdel Wahab explain why this subset deserves dedicated attention. They highlight the critical role of intra-coronary imaging to guide the overall approach, refine lesion preparation, and optimise stenting outcomes.

But anatomy alone isn’t enough. Clinical context and patient profile must also shape the decision-making process. The key lies in tailoring a strategy that not only addresses the lesion, but is also simple, safe, and appropriate for the specific patient and setting.

Watch the full interview to sharpen your approach and gain practical insights into managing one of the most demanding lesion subsets in daily practice.
