Calcified bifurcation lesion - LIVE case
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
A 59-year-old female patient with type 2 DM, dyslipidaemia, hypothyroidism and impaired LV function (39%) presented with multivessel disease. RCA PCI was performed 3 days ago.
The prox and mid LAD showed a severe calcified lesion including the diagonal. The lesion was prepared using a 1.25 Rotaglide™ ('single-person'...
Revolutionising coronary calcium treatment: unleashing the potential of intravascular lithotripsy
21 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
Over the last five years, we have learned that there is a new tool for treating calcium, the greatest enemy of interventional cardiology, which can take various forms: intravascular lithotripsy. In this session, look at how to master this technique in different scenarios, from eccentric calcified...
