Emerging Technologies Webinar Series: Disruptive Technology—Non-Invasive Assessment of Lesion-Specific Physiology-Discussion, Key Takeaways

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of experts discuss the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and other treatment options for calcified lesions in coronary interventions. They highlight the benefits of IVL and its ability to safely modify calcified lesions, making procedures more efficient. The panel emphasizes the importance of intravascular imaging in guiding treatment decisions and modifying calcium signatures. They also discuss other ablative therapies such as rotablation, CSI, and rotashock, and the need for training and experience in using these devices. The panel concludes by emphasizing the need to adapt strategies and use the appropriate tools to ensure successful treatment outcomes for patients.
