Introduction: The super high-pressure NC balloon (OPN NC; SIS Medical AG, Winterthur, Switzerland) is increasingly used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of its efficacy and safety.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed and the Cochrane Library to identify studies using the OPN NC balloon in PCI.

An 82-year-old woman with a history of myocardial infarction presented with worsening effort angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed 75% stenosis in the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD), with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) identifying a severe calcified nodule near a previously implanted drug-eluting stent. The lesion was treated with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and a drug-coated balloon (DCB), avoiding left main crossover stenting.

There is a scarcity of data on clinical outcomes after intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The Optimal Intravascular Ultrasound (OPTIVUS)-Complex PCI study multivessel cohort was a prospective multicenter single-arm trial enrolling 1,015 patients who underwent multivessel IVUS-guided PCI including left anterior descending coronary artery target with an intention to meet the prespecified OPTIVUS criteria for optimal stent expansion. We compared the clinical outcomes between patients with and without CKD.

Unlabelled: Intervention to proximal lesions should be avoided in graft-protected native coronary arteries in general, because there might be a risk for bypass-graft failure. An 81-year-old man with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery due to 3-vessel disease 17 years previously complained of worsening angina. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed a diseased saphenous vein graft (SVG) and a probable functional occlusion in the mid left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) concomitant with calcified severe stenosis in the left main (LM)-proximal LAD, and patent right internal thoracic artery (RITA)-LAD graft.
