How to manage complex calcified coronary disease in severe LV failure?
30 Jun 2026
An 83-year-old woman with multiple cardiovascular risk factors presented with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and severe left ventricular dysfunction with very low ejection fraction, complicated by haemodynamic instability in the setting of complex heavily calcified coronary disease.
How should such a high-risk case be managed?
