This webinar brings together leading experts Dr Rodrigo Bagur, Dr Angela McInerney, Dr Rolf Kreutz, Dr Sohail Khan, Dr Sophia Khattak, Dr Jonathan Hinton and Dr Peter O’Kane to explore the challenges and solutions in managing calcified coronary artery disease. The session will provide a detailed examination of coronary calcification from pathological and clinical perspectives, including intravascular imaging tools for calcium characterisation and treatment and modification techniques for proper lesion preparation and treatment.
The webinar will showcase manuscripts from our 2025 special focus discussing various calcium modification techniques including rotational, orbital and laser atherectomy, along with innovative combination approaches like RASER and Orbitalshock. Through expert presentations and interactive discussions, attendees will enhance their understanding of optimal strategies for managing calcified coronary lesions to improve procedural success and patient outcomes.
