It is challenging to treat bending calcified coronary lesions with CA. Using a guide extension catheter-supported back-up force to advance a bulky atherectomy device and a guidewire bias to the calcified lesion enabled imaging observation and sufficient dilation using a scoring balloon, which led to stent-less...

An elective right coronary artery PCI was scheduled in an 83-year-old gentleman. Due to the presence of severely diffuse and calcified disease, rotational atherectomy was decided, but the burr got entrapped in the severely calcified and tortuous proximal segment of the artery...

An 81-year-old male underwent PCI of an extensively calcified LAD coronary artery. Lesion preparation was done using cutting and scoring balloons, followed by drug-eluting stent implantation. Despite serial dilations, including the use of a very High-Pressure NC balloon, stent expansion could not be achieved...

Szabo’s technique, also known as “tail-wire” technique, is one of the few specific ostial intervention techniques that can be helpful to achieve precise coverage of the ostium without excessive protrusion into the aorta or the respective main vessel...

View this case of a 79-year-old woman complaining of atypical chest pain for 3 months, with diabetes and end-stage chronic kidney disease. Coronary CT revealed diffuse calcifications BUT critical coronary artery stenosis was excluded...

View this case of a 57-year-old woman, with a negative cardiovascular history, but who is a heavy smoker (40xday >20 years) and hypertensive, and who suffered typical chest pain at rest. She arrived at the Emergency Room of a peripheral hospital without a cathlab facility. Her...
