Published Workflows
Objective: Optimize procedural outcomes in calcified coronary lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention.
Why it works: The review abstract links poor outcomes in severe calcification to inadequate lesion preparation and suboptimal stent expansion, and then emphasizes imaging-guided assessment plus plaque modification to optimize outcomes.

Stages
- 1.Advanced imaging-based lesion assessment(functional_characterization)
The abstract emphasizes advanced imaging for precise lesion assessment and improved patient selection.
Selection: precise lesion assessment
- 2.Plaque modification strategy selection and lesion preparation(selection)
Severe calcification creates challenging lesion preparation and contributes to suboptimal stent expansion, so plaque modification is used to optimize procedural outcomes.
Selection: choice among atherectomy, specialized balloon technologies, or intravascular lithotripsy based on lesion needs
- 3.Combination strategy use in complex cases(decision_gate)
The abstract specifically highlights the use of combination strategies in complex cases.
Selection: complex case status after assessment and initial strategy planning

The abstract supports that imaging must be incorporated into the interventional workflow. It does not specify the exact imaging platform or acquisition protocol in the provided text.; requires integration into PCI decision-making workflow
The abstract does not claim that imaging itself modifies plaque or guarantees favorable outcomes without appropriate lesion preparation and treatment.; abstract does not specify which imaging modality is superior or exact decision thresholds
