Calcified coronary lesions are a major challenge in PCI. This PCRGulf-GIM 2025 session showcases a complex case with intravascular imaging, highlighting how IVUS 123 guides each step.

From planning the procedure and understanding calcium distribution, to lesion preparation with modern modification tools, and post-PCI assessment to confirm...

The goal of the present post hoc analysis of the CLIMA registry was to establish the relationship between calcified nodules (CNs) with (CND) or without (CNWD) disruption of the superficial intimal fibrous layer and one-year occurrence of target lesion myocardial infarction (MI) and/or cardiac death.

Crossing the aortic valve can pose significant challenges, particularly in cases involving a horizontal aorta, bulky asymmetric calcifications, or prior prosthesis implantation in valve-in-valve procedures. While some TAVI devices feature deflectable delivery systems to enhance coaxiality, current self-expanding valves lack this capability. When standard techniques like...
