Introduction

This webinar delves into the intricate challenges encountered in PCI, particularly focusing on eccentric calcium, a common hurdle in effective treatment. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the benefits IVL brings to clinical practice and learn how to seamlessly integrate it into patient treatment strategies.

The course explores the crucial concept of calcium modification and its significance in enhancing patient outcomes. Moreover, the efficacy and safety of barotrauma-based therapies are explored, providing insights into their application in real-world scenarios.

Throughout the course, the limitations of existing balloon therapies, as compared to the opportunities of IVLs, will be addressed as innovative approaches are discussed.
