Overview

Severe tortuosity and moderate-to-severe calcification have long been identified as significant predictors of procedure failure, as well as worse clinical outcomes.

Angulated Lesions

  • Balloon angioplasty of highly angulated lesions is associated with an increased for risk coronary dissection.
  • In the settings of coronary stenting, angulated lesions represent a challenge due to the inability of delivering the stent to the stenosis and straightening of the arterial silhouette after stent implantation that may predispose to the presence of stent fracture.
  • Vessel curvature at the site of maximum stenosis should be measured in the most unforeshortened projection using a length of curvature that approximates the balloon length used for coronary dilation.
