The authors present a case of PCI for left main trunk bifurcation divided by a flap-like structure in a 67-year-old man suffering from effort angina, in which they successfully used a novel tracking technique by modifying the reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (CART), which they called...

The authors present a case of percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation lesion in a 73-year-old man suffering from effort angina, in which they successfully performed double kissing crush stenting using optical coherence tomography.

In OCT-guided PCI, observing an aorto-ostial lesion is impossible as it requires blood clearance, and the material of the guiding catheter used is not near-infrared transparent. Using a Telescope®-guiding extension catheter, the authors successfully acquired an OCT image throughout the soft polymer tip and the relatively wide...
