Abstract
Calcified lesions are encountered with increasing frequency in the catheterization laboratory. Percutaneous coronary interventions of calcified lesions are associated with a higher complication rate than percutaneous intervention on non-calcified lesions. The review focuses on current management strategies in the drug eluting stent era of this complex lesion subset. Evidence based approaches to treat calcified coronary lesions with balloon based and atherectomy devices as adjunctive modalities in the drug eluting stent era are discussed in this article.
