Cracking open the discussion on the clinical experience with intravascular lithotripsy in acute coronary syndromes
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
Explore this session to uncover the common association between calcium and acute coronary syndrome, and how intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) offers a safe solution for calcified lesions, with comparable procedural success rates. However, note that ACS cases involving calcium may lead to higher major adverse cardiac events...
