site of maximum calcification and minimum stent area(MSA)of 5.34±1.64 mm^(2).CONCLUSIONS The initial coronary IVL experience for Chinese operators resulted in high procedural success and low angiographic complications consistent with prior IVL studies,reflecting the relative ease of use of IVL ...
Rotational atherectomy is the technique of choice for severe coronary artery calcification to facilitate adequate stent deployment. However, rotational atherectomy use is dependent on the delivery of a dedicated guide wire, which is not always achievable. We describe a series of five patients with...

Coronary artery calcification is an indicator of the presence of atheromatous plaques and its progression could correlate with the risk of cardiovascular events. Results from previous observational studies have indicated that lipid-lowering treatment might help slow the progression of coronary artery ...
Novel treatment for critical aortic stenosis with severe aortic root calcification and coronary disease: combined left internal thoracic artery graft to left anterior descending coronary artery and deployment of transcatheter aortic valve implantation valve under direct vision.

However, complications may occur during PCI, especially in complicated lesions such as bifurcation lesions, chronic total occlusion (CTO) and severe calcification lesions. Coronary artery perforation is a common and quite serious complication of CTO-PCI with high mortality [1]. Timely detection of ...
Computed tomography (CT) can be useful for assessing cardiovascular (CV) anatomy and detecting coronary artery calcification and potential pulmonary embolism. However, its role in HFpEF is limited due to its low sensitivity for detecting subtle changes in cardiac function [10]. Finally, positron ...
Coronary angiography showed a significant in-stent stenosis at the proximal segment of the SVG. (Fig. 4A, arrow; video 11 Supplementary material). The stenosis had a MLA of 5.6 mm2 and diameter stenosis of 33.1 % by QCA. On IVUS, severe in-stent calcification (>270°) was observed (Fig...
Objectives: To study the long-term outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background: There is little evidence on the incidence, procedural results and long-term outcomes of RA for CTO PCI. Methods: This registry ...
