Coronary Calcium Modification: Treating the Impossible
When should you keep pushing and when should you walk away during a tough chronic total occlusion (CTO) case with heavy coronary calcification? On this episode of BackTable Cardiology, coronary CTO expert Dr. Kate Kearney from the University of Washington joins Dr. Hady Lichaa to define what makes a coronary PCI truly complex and to break down real-world strategies for managing ambiguous, heavily calcified lesions. The discussion emphasizes the uncertainty of achieving a good outcome and highlights the critical role of troubleshooting and dynamic decision-making in the cath lab.
