ABSTRACT
Percutaneous treatment of calcified coronary lesions is still a challenge in modern interventional cardiology practice. Coronary angiography is limited to the precise and quantitative assessment of calcium in coronary arteries. Intracoronary imaging (ICI) modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), produce a very detailed image of calcifications and could help in proper percutaneous treatment. Intracoronary imaging indicates the need to use additional tools and improves the final effect of an intervention. Drawing on the already published literature, the authors focused on the qualification of patients to the procedure, conduct and result of interventional procedures involving calcified lesions supported by ICI. The article shows the advantages and disadvantages of both ICI methods in general and especially in calcified lesions. Currently available tools dedicated to dealing with coronary calcium and helping to meet optimal stent implantation criteria are also described. This article reviews the data on ICI implementation in daily clinical practice to improve the results of percutaneous interventions, and indicates further directions.
