Calcium School of Rock Live Case Series: Previous Episodes

These sessions bring together the world’s best calcium operators to discuss treatment options to master coronary calcified lesions. Watch our 12 episodes On-Demand and learn from different clinical scenarios.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the options for calcium treatment
  • Appreciate the value of IVUS guidance in calcified lesions
  • Discuss tips and tricks for rotational atherectomy and cutting balloon angioplasty
 

School of Rock #12
Treatment of Calcified Lesion in Large Vessels

85-year-old male patient with dyslipidemia, obesity and high BMI, presenting grade III angina CCS and breathlessness (NYHA I). Coronary angiography showed diffused calcified lesions on distal Left Main in proximal LAD.
Watch this step-by-step Modern PCI approach recorded live from Hôpital privé Jacques Cartier – Massy, France.
 

 

Schoolof Rock #11
Treatment of Calcified Lesion in a Tortuous Anatomy

82-year-old male patient with hypertension, diabetes mellitus (2019) and hypercholesterolemia, presenting reduced clinical condition, dyspnea & angina pectoris during mild exertion. Baseline angiography: severely calcified and tortuous RCA, severely calcified unprotected distal Left Main disease and calcified mid LAD.
Learn about the Modern PCI step-by-step approach live from MediClin Heart Center - Lahr, Germany.

 

School of Rock Case #10
Modern PCI in a Heavily Calcified Lesion

50-year-old male patient with hypertension and dyslipidemia, presenting with effort angina since few months with a triple vessel disease, long and diffuse stenosis of LAD, focal and diffuse stenosis of CDx and diffuse stenosis of CX. Watch the step-by-step approach of "modern PCI", through IVUS guidance and plaque modification, live from Humanitas Hospital, Italy.

 

 
 

School of Rock Case #9
Modern PCI in diffuse calcific coronary artery disease: how to treat

71-year-old male patient with hypertension and history of CABG in 2007, presented with crescendo angina over 2 months. Severe calcified stenosis on proximal and distal RCA, severe stenosis in PL. Watch the step-by-step approach of "modern PCI", through IVUS guidance and plaque modification, from Sunninghill and Sunward Hospital, South Africa.

 

 

School of Rock Case #8
Low-contrast modern PCI in the setting of a calcific lesion.

67-year-old female patient with chronic kidney disease, presenting with stable angina and lateral wall ischemia 20 years after undergoing CABG surgery for 3-vessel disease, with a residual severely calcified distal left main stenosis. Watch the step-by-step approach of "modern PCI", through IVUS guidance and plaque modification, live from Bad Krozingen, Germany.

 

 

School of Rock Case #7 Live treatment of a calcified Ostial RCA PCI: a step-by-step approach.

74-year-old male patient, presenting with 12 months history of angina (CCS 2), breathlessness (NYHA3), also reported bilateral claudication. Angiography showed severe calcified disease in proximal LAD, LCx, Int and RCA. Watch the step-by-step approached “modern PCI”, with IVUS assessment and plaque modification with rotational atherectomy, live from Cardiff.

 

School of Rock Case #6: Live proctoring of a calcified mid-LAD bifurcation lesion PCI.

72-year-old male patient, presenting with de novo angina CCS 1, preserved LVEF, who was found to have a Medina 0-1-1 mid-LAD calcified bifurcation lesion. Watch the proctoring of “modern PCI”, with IVUS assessment and plaque modification with rotational atherectomy, live from Toulouse.

 

 

School of Rock Case #5: How to treat a challenging Aorto-Ostial calcified lesion.

79-year-old male with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, stage 3 chronic kidney disease and moderately decreased ejection fraction. Coronary angiography showed a tight calcified proximal RCA stenosis. He has been randomized in the NOTION-3 trial and is planned to undergo IVUS-guided, low contrast PCI prior to his TAVI.

School of Rock Case #4: Coronary calcium in a frail patient

An 80-year-old frail patient s/p TAVR presenting for scheduled PCI of a severely calcified RCA. After failure to cross the distal lesion with 2 different microcatheters, are there still options for PCI?

 

 

School of Rock Case #3: Low contrast PCI

77 male. ACS in DEC 2020. LAD treated by rotablation and PCI at that time. Normal LV. Impaired renal function. Returning for completion of revascularisation to treat a dominant RCA. Short functional aorto-ostial occlusion with calcium, plus collaterals and competitive flow in the distal RCA from the left system.
