Severe coronary artery calcification poses unique challenges to successful PCI. Severe coronary artery calcification is associated with lower procedural success rates, as it may impede stent delivery.

Treatment of calcified lesions with bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) is feasible and yields angiographic success that matches what can be achieved for noncalcified lesions, according to a small study ...

Lee and Atwood (March 6 issue) 1 provide an example of a calcified left ventricular aneurysm visualized by computed tomography (CT). On closer inspection, the pattern of calcifications in the apical ...

The heart is the first organ to start its function as the embryo is formed inside the mother’s womb. It continues to perform its functions tirelessly until its end. It beats nearly 275 crores times, ...
