- Procedural step:
EBU3.5 7F engaged LMSion wired to dLADp-mLAD pre-dilated with Ikazuchi Zero 2.0/15 and NC Pantera Leo 2.5/8Unable to deliver Shockwave balloon 3.0/12 through mLAD calcified lesionShockwave therapy delivered along p-mLAD as it advanced through the calcified lesion (4-6 atm for 8 cycles)Further pre-dilatation with NC Pantera Leo 2.5/8Orsiro 2.5/35 deployed over m-dLAD and PSHP with Raiden-3 3.0/10
BMW Universal II wired to distal OM3mLCx-OM3 pre-dilated with Ikazuchi Zero 2.0/15 and NC Pantera Leo 2.5/8Orsiro 2.25/40 deployed over mLCx-OM3 at 8-14 atmPSHP with NC Oberon 3.0/20 over proximal stent edge and NC Pantera Leo 2.5/8 over mid-distal stent segmentPre-dilatation over pLCx with Raiden-3 3.0/10Raiden-3 3.5/15 placed in pLAD while Orsiro 3.5/26 deployed over o-mLCx at up to 14 atmRaiden-3 3.5/15 dilated over LM-pLAD at up to 20 atm to crush oLCx stent edgeBMW Universal II removed from LCx
Orsiro 3.5/22 deployed over oLM-pLAD at 14 atm (overlapped with mLAD stent)PSHP over LM with Raiden-3 4.25/10 at 20 atm
BMW Universal II re-wired into LCxIkazuchi Zero 1.5/15 delivered to LCx ostium, supported by anchoing NC Trek 3.5/12 at pLADLCx ostium re-opened with Ikazuchi Zero 1.5/15 and NC Sapphire II 3.5/10Further dilatation over LM-pLAD with NC Trek 3.5/12 at 20 atmKissing performed with NC Trek 3.5/12 over LM-pLAD and NC Sapphire II 3.5/10 over LM-pLCx at 6 atm simultaneouslyPOT over LM with Raiden-3 4.25/10 at 20 atmFinal angiogram showed satisfactory angiographic result

- Case Summary:
- Shockwave balloon is a novel atherectomy technique which is safer than rotablation- Even if Shockwave balloon cannot be delivered to desired position due to tight calcium, it could deliver therapy to open up the way for it to advance further, like opening up a tunnel with drilling & blasting- Special precautions with Shockwave: risk of balloon rupture, difficult to re-insert used balloon (large profile), each balloon limited to 8 cycles of therapy
