Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified lesions is known to result in
lower procedural success rates, higher complication rates, and worse long‐term clinical …

Introduction The optimal approach to deal with severe coronary artery calcification (CAC)
during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains ill‐defined. Methods We …

The prevalence of calcification in obstructive coronary artery disease is on the rise.
Percutaneous coronary intervention of these calcified lesions is associated with increased …

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention of severely calcified lesions carries a high
risk of adverse events despite the use of contemporary devices. The Classic Crown Orbital …

Background: Coronary calcifications, particularly in left main disease (LMD), are
independently associated with adverse outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention …

Background Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with rotational
atherectomy (RA) are at high risk of adverse clinical outcomes, and there are few clinical risk …

Objective. Heavy calcifications remain formidable challenges to PCI, even for well‐
experienced operators. However, rotational atherectomy (RA)‐induced coronary …

Background There is limited information on use of laser in complex percutaneous coronary
interventions (PCI). We examined the impact of laser on the outcomes of balloon …

With aging society, one of the more challenging obstacles in percutaneous coronary
interventions are calcified coronary lesions. Calcified lesions may impede stent delivery …

Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in coronary heart disease with its progression
being predictive of future adverse cardiac events. Its presence is considered to be a marker …
