Expect trouble when calcium meets tortuous anatomy
01 Aug 2024
This case illustrates the challenges of managing a previously bypassed patient in an acute setting with LM disease and high calcium burden involving LAD and Cx ostias, and occlusion of the venous graft towards the Cx. The tortuous anatomy is a further hurdle to management and choice...

Imaging-guided left main PCI - LIVE case
Recommended by PCR
17 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
A 53-year-old male with a history of advanced malignancy (lung adenoma) and mid LAD PCI last year, along with multiple risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and smoking), presented with angina and a positive stress test and CT. The angiography and CT showed significant left main stenosis...
