Percutaneous treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions still represents a challenge for
interventional cardiology, with higher risk of immediate complications, late failure due to …

Calcified lesions often mean percutaneous intervention results are suboptimal and increase
the risk of procedural complications and future adverse events. Available plaque-modifying …

Background: Optimal plaque preparation of calcified coronary lesions is key to prevent stent
failure. The purpose of this study was to determine the strategy success and safety of …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess 10-year all-cause mortality in patients with
heavily calcified lesions (HCLs) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or …

Vascular calcification is a highly prevalent pathophenotype that is associated with aging,
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. When …

Heavily calcified coronary lesions increase the complexity of percutaneous coronary
interventions (PCI) and represent a challenge for interventional cardiologists. They are an …

Background The recently introduced intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) appears promising and
relatively safer than conventional approaches when dealing with calcified lesions. Although …

Objectives To explore the long‐term clinical outcomes following intravascular lithotripsy
(IVL) in calcified coronary lesions from a real‐world population. Background IVL is a …

Background: Coronary interventions in calcified lesions are associated with a higher rate of
adverse clinical event s. Initial aggressive plaque modification along with post-implantation …

The presence of calcified plaques is one of the pathological phenotypes of acute coronary
syndrome (ACS) and can be frequently found in culprit lesion segments. Trimethylamine N …
