First results of randomised trials on advanced plaque modification techniques and intracoronary imaging
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session presents the first results of randomized trials investigating the use of advanced plaque modification techniques, such as rotational atherectomy, lithotripsy, and laser atherectomy, as well as the role of intracoronary imaging (OCT and IVUS) in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The session aims to...
Optimising the procedural techniques to treat calcified coronary lesions
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will provide insights into various techniques and strategies for treating severely calcified coronary lesions.
