Specialists are trained in new techniques for the treatment of coronary lesions.
This Wednesday, the La Luz University Hospital has been the headquarters of the 1st License Plate Modification Day, A theoretical-practical workshop focused on the approach to complex coronary lesions using advanced interventional cardiology techniques, with special attention to the rotational atherectomy.
This fspecialized training It was aimed at interventional cardiologists and was held in two locations: the first day, Tuesday, May 6, at the experimental center of the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (UFV) and the second in the La Luz University Hospital, with capacity limited to six participants to ensure an intensive and personalized training experience.
In the current context, where patients referred for hemodynamic studies present increasingly complex clinical and angiographic profiles—with a high incidence of calcified lesions—in-depth knowledge of plaque modification techniques becomes essential.
During the course, calcium management algorithms, indications for available techniques, and the role of intracoronary imaging (IVUS/OCT) were reviewed. Discussed clinical cases ("canned cases") were presented, as well as a block of direct practice on an artificial simulator. In addition, three live cases were conducted, allowing direct observation of decision-making and the application of these cutting-edge technologies.
The day was coordinated by the Dr. Jorge Palazuelos, Head of the Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Unit from the Madrid hospital center, and has included the participation of national specialists who shared knowledge, strategies, and practical procedures to improve the results of this type of highly complex interventions.
This event marks the beginning of a series of training sessions aimed at updating and disseminating the most effective tools for treating complex coronary lesions, reinforcing La Luz University Hospital's commitment to clinical excellence and innovation.
