Direct Puncture of Calcified Plaque Using a Percutaneous Transcholangiography Needle in Endovascular Treatment for Superficial Femoral Artery Chronic Total Occlusion: A Case Report

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions has progressed recently; however, severely calcified lesions remain difficult to treat owing to challenges in guidewire passage and limited balloon or stent expansion. We report the case of a 79‐year‐old Asian male with intermittent claudication who had previously undergone

Plaque Morphology‐Dependent Regression of Tandem Coronary Plaques Under Intensive Lipid‐Lowering Therapy

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a 54‐year‐old woman with stable angina who exhibited heterogeneous responses of tandem left anterior descending artery (LAD) plaques to intensive lipid‐lowering therapy. Coronary CT angiography performed at another hospital suggested diffuse disease, and she presented to our clinic for a second opinion.
