JURADO-ROMAN, Alfonso et al. Plaque modification techniques to treat calcified coronary lesions. Position paper from the ACI-SEC. REC Interv Cardiol ES [online]. 2023, vol.5, n.1, pp.46-61. Epub 18-Mar-2024. ISSN 2604-7276. https://dx.doi.org/10.24875/recic.m22000342.
Coronary artery calcification is probably the main determinant of the poor outcome of percutaneous coronary interventions and is associated with higher rates of adverse events. There are currently different balloon or specific device-based plaque modification techniques available. Knowing their characteristics and proper use is key for the optimal treatment of calcified lesions. This position paperpromoted by the Interventional Cardiology Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (ACI-SEC)describes existing plaque modification techniques currently available and proposes an algorithm for the management of calcified lesions.
