IVL vs rotational atherectomy: head-to-head in calcified PCI

The ICARE OFDI randomised trial compares intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and rotational atherectomy in calcified coronary lesions, revealing comparable stent expansion but lower malapposition with IVL.

How to bend a coronary wire for difficult side branch access?

Take into account the geometry of the main vessel, the angulation of the side branch, the space for rotation of the wire, and the distribution of plaque
