Background Severe coronary artery calcification is associated with poor procedural and
clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Rotational …

Background Severely calcified coronary lesions present a particular challenge for
percutaneous coronary intervention. Aims The aim of this randomized study was to …

Background Calcified lesions are one of the most challenging cases for PCI, where optimal
angiographic results and satisfying outcomes are hard to achieve. Methods We evaluated …

Background Management of heavily calcified coronary arteries is still a major challenge in
interventional cardiology. Inadequate stent expansion in calcific lesions is the single most …

Objectives The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of the
“RotaTripsy” approach in severe calcified coronary artery lesions. Background Coronary …

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

Debulking lesions with severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly recommended to
obtain good procedural and long-term success. Utilization and performance of coronary …

Background: Previous understanding holds that rotational atherectomy and modified
balloons remain the default strategy for severely calcified coronary stenoses. In recent years …

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 …

The coronary artery calcium score is considered the most useful marker for predicting
coronary events. The high score reflects heavy calcification in the vessel, which is more …
