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...

Watch the case of a 73-year-old man, active smoker, with HTN, dyslipidaemia and a history of severe polyvascular disease, who presented with CCS III angina in the last two months, and find out in this session how he was treated LIVE.
Intravascular lithotripsy in the real world: the revolution continues
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In this session, review the evolution in the use of IVL over the last few years, with a widening of the indications, observe that OCT can underestimate the number and depth of calcium fractured induced by IVL, or see that the technique is safe and effective...
