Watch this replay with F. Ribichini, M. Götberg, B. Khialani and B. Vaquerizo to Review the newest indications for the use of DCB with a focus on STEMI, CTO, bifurcations and calcified lesions, and so much more!

A 59-year-old male presented with CCS for three months, with diabetes and normal LV function (72%). Coronary angiography showed a calcified left main stenosis (Medina 1,1,1) and diffuse calcification of the proximal and mid LAD. The LCX QFR was 0.86.

Treatment included extensive lesion preparation with lithotripsy...

Delve into the complexities of bifurcation and left main coronary interventions with this session focusing on challenging cases and advanced techniques. Topics include management of complications during drug-eluting stent deployment, Impella-supported orbital atherectomy in heavily calcified lesions, and PCI in patients with severe comorbidities such as...
