Calcium and complications management in bifurcation
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address calcium-related challenges and complication management in coronary bifurcation PCI. This session reviews the impact of intraprocedural complications during two-stent techniques, procedural success and one-year outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy in calcific bifurcations and unprotected left main PCI, and bench-test analyses of perforation management. Additionally, it compares...
The calcium challenge: stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Confront the challenges posed by coronary calcium through innovative stent avoidance and in-stent restenosis treatment strategies. This session features analyses on the feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) alone, its use prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty, and in treating in-stent restenosis. Outcomes following IVL-assisted PCI are reviewed...
