Gratifying case of an 88-year-old lady who presented with an acute myocardial infarction.
Angioplasty was successfully performed for a severely calcified coronary lesion using orbital atherectomy for plaque modification and IVUS guidance for precise stent optimization.
She recovered remarkably well — celebrating her birthday the very next day and being discharged in stable condition.
Moments like these remind us how far interventional cardiology has advanced, allowing even elderly patients to benefit from complex coronary interventions safely and effectively.
