Calcified lesions: caught between a rock and a hard place
10 Dec 2025 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2025
This session focuses on the challenges of treating calcified coronary lesions, emphasizing the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided rotablation and the limitations of rotatripsy in complex bifurcation angioplasty. It covers innovative strategies including off-label Shockwave lithotripsy in stented lesions, management of calcified nodules, and approaches to...
Large thrombus burden: contemporary solutions
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
This session presents contemporary strategies for managing large thrombus burden in STEMI patients. Learn from expert cases demonstrating multiple effective approaches including modified manual thrombus aspiration guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and streamlined primary PCI techniques, essential for optimizing outcomes in complex thrombotic scenarios.
Caught between a calcified rock and a hard place
19 Dec 2024 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2024
This session delves into the challenges of managing heavily calcified coronary lesions, particularly in complex scenarios like left main bifurcation angioplasty and in elderly patients with unstable angina. Explore innovative techniques to tackle abrupt vessel closure, situations where rotablation may fall short, and state-of-the-art approaches for...
STEMI: thrombus is the problem
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will feature a series of selected clinical case submissions from EuroPCR 2024, focusing on the management of STEMI patients with a high thrombotic burden. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore various strategies and techniques, such as the use of pharmacomechanical thromboaspiration, prevention of...
Complications in the treatment of calcified lesions
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Explore the complexities encountered in the treatment of calcified lesions.
Witness the retrieval of an orbital atherectomy crown using the twisting wire technique, uncover the challenges posed by device entrapment following the use of intravascular lithotripsy, encounter the issue of a stuck OCT catheter and the strategies...
