The Benefits of CT-Guided PCI for Calcium Modification

Fairway Ballroom

Advances in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with HeartFlow are transforming the way we approach percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This session will highlight how CT-derived insights can guide procedural strategy, optimize patient selection, and enhance outcomes in complex cases. Participants will learn to recognize when calcium modification is required and explore the role of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in achieving optimal results. Through real-world case examples, we will compare traditional angiographic planning with CT-guided approaches, underscoring the value of integrating imaging and functional data into decision-making for contemporary PCI practice.
