Third stop: Aalst, Belgium

With E. Barbato, C. De Biase and D. Milasinovic

This is the third accredited episode of six new PCR Webinars on the Road

Our duo of hosts Dejan Milasinovic and Chiara De Biase visit the cathlab of Emanuele Barbato based in Aalst, Belgium.

If PCI of severely calcified lesions is not optimally performed, the risk of stent-related ischaemic events is increased. Therefore, achieving optimal post-stenting results in patients with calcified lesions and high bleeding risk is of paramount importance given the potential necessity of shortened DAPT duration.

Three reasons to watch this episode:

Discuss a step-by-step approach to patients with calcified lesions
Learn about different plaque modification techniques
Understand the importance of bleeding risk assessment when treating calcified lesions
