Coronary atherectomy via guide extension catheter for bending calcified lesions
25 Mar 2021
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...

Intercostal embolization of a stuck rotational atherectomy burr
02 Mar 2021
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...
How should I treat underexpanded coronary stents due to severe coronary calcification?
11 Feb 2021
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...
