About this trial

The aim of this observational study is to compare the prognostic outcomes of various PCI strategies in elderly patients with complex coronary calcified lesions. The patients will be classified into two groups and assigned different PCI strategies, either stenting or stenting combined with pharmacologic balloon implantation. The investigators will assess the one-year prognosis for major adverse cardiovascular events in these patients.
