Cracking new horizons across all calcium morphologies
04 Oct 2024 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2024
This session explores the challenges of treating calcified lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Learn how calcium can impede stent deliverability and expansion, potentially leading to thrombosis and restenosis. Discover the innovative Shockwave IVL technology, which uses sonic pressure waves to fracture calcium without harming surrounding...
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...
